Can you believe this intricate box was made from just a single sheet of paper?
No glue, no tape—just the magic of origami.
Let’s discover how a few simple folds can create such a stunning and practical treasure.
Folding Instructions
First, fold along the diagonal.
Next, fold the four corners toward the center.
Leave the top one and put the other three corners back in place.
Fold the bottom corner to meet the top circle.
Next, fold the right side in half and unfold it.
Similarly, crease the remaining corners and open them up.
Let’s get started with the assembly.
Fold the line to the left.
When doing so, fold the dotted triangle inward.
Fold along the dotted lines, folding the edges inward.
Similarly, fold it three more times.
We now have all four flaps.
Now that we’ve gotten this far, all that’s left is to fold them down.
Let’s fold them clockwise.
Finally, slide the lid into place.
And there you have it—a simple box.
I saw a picture of this origami box and thought it looked lovely.
As I tried to fold it by imitating the instructions, I seem to have ended up with some unwanted creases.
But when I put it together, I was delighted to find that it looked beautiful in its own way.
When I made it by folding the four corners into eighths, it ended up looking like a gemstone cut.
In Conclusion
Wishing you a mindful and creative day through the art of origami.
