How to make a box from a landscape sheet. Origami square box

In this master class, we will consider several ways how to make handmade paper box The first method is a little more difficult, and the second is very easy.

The first way is an origami paper box.

To make such a box, we need scissors and two pieces of paper. The first size is 21.5x21.5 centimeters, this will be the lid of the box. The second sheet is 21.2x21.2 centimeters in size, respectively, this will be the lower part. As you noticed, the sizes of the sheets do not differ much, and if you don’t have a ruler on hand, I advise you to pick up the sheets so that one of them is a little smaller. The folding method of the top and bottom is the same. That is why we will consider making only one part of origami with our own hands. To make the box stronger, we advise you to take thicker paper, for example, cardboard. Let's get to our instructions.

1 . We outline 2 diagonal lines. The easiest way to do this is with a ruler and a pencil.

2 . We bend one corner to the center of the square, as shown in the photo.

3 . Then fold the same side in half. The edge should lie exactly along the diagonal line.

4 . After we ironed the fold lines, we unfold everything back.

5 . Exactly the same procedure described in paragraphs 2-4 is done with the rest of the corners.

6 . We cut 2 corners with scissors, as shown in the figure.

7 . Bend the side corners to the center. So that they converge at the central point of the square.

8 . Raise the side walls of the box. Since we have made all the necessary folds, this item will not cause you any difficulties.

9 . Next, we begin to form the walls. To do this, we bend the edges to each other as in the diagram.

10 . Now the edges that we cut are put inside the box with our own hands.

11 . Now the lid for the gift box is ready. It remains only to make the bottom.

12 . The bottom is made in exactly the same way. We advise you to carefully approach the choice of paper. Basically, paper of a single color is selected for the lower part. And for the top paper with different patterns.

13 . Additionally, you can give solemnity with your own hands gift box, decorating it with a beautiful ribbon.

The second scheme of the paper box.

This box is much easier to make than the previous origami. You don't need scissors or a ruler to make it. All you need is to pick up a piece of paper standard size A4, A3, A2, depending on which box you want to get as a result. For example, from an A4 sheet, a box measuring 10x10.5 centimeters is obtained. We will also consider only the manufacture of one box module with our own hands. Since both parts are assembled according to the same principle. Do not forget the bottom of the box should be a little smaller.

1 . Place the paper in front of you, long side facing you.

2 . Make 2 fold lines, you should get 3 equal shapes.

3 . Fold the right rectangle in half as shown in the photo.

4 . Do the same with the left rectangle.

5 . We bend the corners on both sides from the top and bottom, as shown in the pictures

6 . Turn the sheet over and do the same. On the one hand, you should get single-layer corners, on the other, from two layers of paper.

7 . Having bent all 8 corners, we unfold the workpiece, with the corners inward.

8 . Let's get to ourselves milestone, we need to evenly open the box.

9 . We form the ribs. This can be done by hand. Make sure the sides are about the same size.

10 . So simple and fast way we made one part of the origami box.

11 . In the same way we collect the second part of the box. Do not forget that one of the origami parts should be a little smaller.

The paper may or may not be heavy, square or rectangular shape. If the product is supposed large sizes, then it is better to take A1, A2 or A3 paper. If the sheet is thin, then it can be folded in half.

Fold the paper base three times to make an accordion.
Then fold the sides to the middle and bend in reverse side in half.
Bend the corners so that on one side one corner turns out to be double, and on the other - single. The result should be 8 corners - the same number on both sides.
Straighten the resulting structure at an equidistant distance from the center.
It turns out a pocket, which needs to be shaped like a box. Final stage- to give the structure rigidity by bending the corners of the product.

Practical designs

At their core, all these boxes are functional, but they acquire more sense if they have a lid. On the Internet, there are a lot of origami paper boxes with lids. In addition, it can be done in several ways.

Simple and step by step

The size of the paper may be different, but the prerequisite is that the shape must be square, and the bottom of the future product will be 3 millimeters smaller than its cover.

First you need to make a cover. The sheet is drawn diagonally, connecting the ends.
Then bend one of the corners towards the center so that its end is in contact with the point of intersection of the diagonal lines. Next, fold the folded end in half again so that its fold line coincides with the diagonal line. Expand corner. You will get fold lines, which will come in handy later.
Do the same for the other three remaining corners.
On both sides of the corner, make two cuts to the middle of the sheet. Then assemble the structure according to the specified scheme.
The base of the future structure is assembled in the same way as the cover. In this case, the size of the sides of the base should be 3 millimeters less than top part.

Origami paper box with a surprise is very popular. This construction shows that paper products can serve not only magnificent decorative element but also act as a toy for the child.

The whole highlight of this craft is changing faces. Cube with a drawn funny face hides in another box, with a diameter slightly larger than the cube itself, made from one sheet.

Opening the box, funny face can be changed to a sullen face. By the way, you can draw the eyes yourself download ready-made templates from the Internet. Not only a child, but also an adult can play such cubes.

Japanese art

Another type of paper origami box is sanboy. Initially, the Japanese made it as a container for sweets. Nowadays, many craftsmen store various trifles in it.

First you need to create a base - "pancake". A square sheet is taken and folded diagonally. Then you need to fold all the corners to the center and unfold.
Collect the slide and fold the resulting figure again with a “mountain” in the form of a triangle.
Then right side bend over and turn over.
Next, a “valley” fold is made, when the fold is obtained from a person, that is, away. Then the mountain fold. In this case, the fold will act like the top of a mountain.
It is necessary in this position to straighten the craft and bend right side to the left.
Open the top layer of the future packaging, and the “mountain” fold will help in this.
Repeat the above steps, but on the other side. Only in this case left-hand side bends to the right.
Fold all sides along the center line, and repeat on the other side.
The top layer is bent from the second so that the angle between them is 90 degrees. This part is revealed. The same must be done with the second side.

The "double square" or in other words "pancake" is taken as the basis.
Fold the figure into a triangle, push the sides apart and bend the edges so that the bottom lines are in the same plane with the table surface.
Pull apart the folded edges and make two folds.
Then, push the layers apart again and make four folds with a “slide” when the fold is at the top.
Next, you need to bend and unbend the bottom base of the box so that you get a flat triangle.
Push the layers of paper apart again and fold the top of the triangles down.
Repeat this action three times.
The last action is to push the layers of paper apart again, make two folds and press on lower part figurines.

Small organizer box

If there is a student in your family, then you can help him competently organize the desktop space. First you need to sort all the small school supplies. To do this, it is most convenient to use organizers - containers various shapes and sizes. A variety of organizer boxes for paper clips, buttons and other small stationery is easy to make with a child out of paper. In our master class, it is proposed to create just such a simple craft.

To make an organizer box, we will prepare:

a sheet of colored paper;
ruler;
pencil;
scissors.

The direct blanks for our box will be 6x6 cm squares. We will need 3 such blanks.

Each of these squares must be folded in a certain way. First, fold the square diagonally.

Then we need to bend the right corner of the resulting triangle to the top.

After that, we do the same with the left corner of the triangle, bending it to the top.

Let's straighten the folds we just made. We have obtained the following type of workpiece.

After that, we bend the top of our triangle down.

If we turn the resulting triangle over, we will see one of the three elements of the future organizer box.

From the remaining two squares, we perform similar modules.

Now we need to connect our elements. To do this, we introduce the side corner of one of them inside the corner of the other element.

It is required to connect our modules to the fold line.

Adding a third module.

Now the resulting construction needs to be closed in a ring. Thus, we got a small box with three walls and a bottom.

It is convenient to put any stationery small things (for example, paper clips) in it.

The master class was prepared by Marina.
