Step by step instructions with photo

Let's start creating a beautiful origami gift box for loved ones with our own hands.

Step 1: Cut out the paper

Carefully measure and cut your paper to the correct dimensions.

To make an origami box, you will need 2 square pieces of paper, one of which should be 1.2 cm smaller than the second. Therefore, if you are using standard 30 x 30 cm scrap paper sheets, you need to reduce the second sheet to 28.8 x 28.8 cm. The larger piece of paper forms the lid, and the smaller one forms the bottom.

Step 2: Make the Folds

Place the paper in front of you, pattern side down, and fold it in half. Next, open it up, rotate it 90 degrees, and fold it in half again. Your folds should form a cross.

Step 3: fold the corners

Now fold each corner into the center of the paper square.

Your folded sheet should look like the picture in the top left corner of the photo below.

Step 4: Fold the Edges

Take your square and fold its bottom edge towards the center.
Repeat for the other side. Your folded paper should now look like a rectangle.
Open it, rotate it 90 degrees and repeat. It should now look like the picture below on the right.

Step 5: Shape the Cap

Pick up 2 opposite triangles and turn them flat.

Take the top valve and begin to fold it inside the lid along the formed folds. This is the part where you may need to use some glue. If your triangle's shields don't fit very snugly, apply a thin coat of glue to each of them, press down and let dry.

Rotate the craft 180 degrees and repeat on the other side. As you can see, an origami gift box has already begun to take shape. Left just a little bit!

Step 6: make a bottom

Repeat steps 2-5 for the smaller scrap paper square.

When completed, the larger box should easily fit on top of the smaller bottom.

An origami box is a versatile thing, it can be used in everyday life, for storing small trinkets, as a decorative element, and it is also well suited for a gift. The article contains master classes, in the form of instructions, photos and videos, helping to master the manufacture of this craft.

Schemes for coordinating paper origami boxes

Surely many have experience of self-wrapping gifts. Stored surprises can be wrapped in beautiful paper, put in special paper bags, you can even glue a paper box yourself and decorate it to your liking. We offer another unusual option for needlework lovers. These are packages made using the origami technique. Detailed diagrams will help to cope with these with this figure, even for those who are just taking their first steps in mastering paper art. Let's create cute origami paper boxes of different sizes quickly and easily with our own hands.

We make origami paper boxes with our own hands using different techniques.

We will start with the simplest version of a paper box that you can make yourself. Even someone who previously made only boats and airplanes in their deep childhood can easily cope with it without much difficulty, and even then they have already safely lost this skill. Such caskets can be made even on the way to work in a taxi or during a lunch break.

We need only one square sheet of paper. Because the scheme is very simple and does not require a large number of complex folds; you can take ordinary colored double-sided paper. This option will be even better than special origami paper - our box will turn out to be denser and more suitable for putting something into it.

How to make a simple box:

In principle, all actions are clear according to the scheme, however, just in case, we will explain additional steps.

1) Fold the sheet in half and unfold it back. Rotate 90 degrees and repeat the same.

2) Turn the paper over to the other side. We outline the diagonals of the square.

3) Bend the corners to the center.

4) From the center of the resulting rhombus, we bend the corners of the top layer to the sides and return it back. Expand the upper right and lower left sides of the rhombus.

5) We bend the lower right and upper left sides of the rhombus along the marked parallel lines.

6) Raise the side of the box

7) Raise the second side of the box.

8) Our handmade origami paper boxes are ready! Now you can put sweets or some other small gizmos in it.

We are trying to make a paper box with a lid and in the form of a heart

Making a paper box with a lid follows the same pattern. First you need to make an ordinary box, and then make its lid in the same way. Do not forget that the sheet of paper from which the lid will be made should be slightly larger (about a centimeter) than the sheet for the base. This box looks like a real box and is more suitable for packing a small gift.

For Valentine's Day, a heart-shaped box will be a romantic gift wrapping. There are several ways to make such packaging, including using the origami technique. However, unlike a simple square box, this already requires some skills and perseverance. However, the result will undoubtedly please you and surprise your soul mate.

We make a glued version in the form of a heart with our own hands

If this option seems too complicated, but you still want to make a romantic gift with your own hands, we suggest making a similar paper box not using the origami technique, but simply using a special template.

To make a heart shaped box you will need:

Thick colored double-sided paper
simple pencil
Ruler

Diagram of a box in the shape of a heart No. 1:

1) Transfer this diagram to paper in the required scale.

2) Cut out with scissors. Fold over the areas to be glued. If the paper is too thick, you can help yourself with a ruler.

3) Bend the main part of the heart along the lines, helping with a ruler. Fold the figure into one piece. Apply a thin layer of glue to the corresponding protrusions, glue the heart. If you want the box to open, you just need to bend the protrusions inward, and for convenience, glue a small “tongue” on the side of the lid.

Diagram of a box in the shape of a heart No. 2:

1) Transfer this diagram to paper in the required scale and cut it out with scissors.

2) It is better to collect the figure from the bottom. After you connect the top, you can see the image of a heart on the box.

With the help of these simple schemes, you can surprise your family and friends with unusual gift wrapping. Or you can put in these boxes all the paper clips that have been lying around on your desk for a long time ... Or put a note with a love confession and then our box will definitely turn into a box with a surprise! For those who care about the environment, it is important to note the environmental friendliness of origami, because no synthetic substances or paints are required for their manufacture. Therefore, you can safely master new and new models.

Anyone who has small children knows how difficult it is to get a toddler to clean up scattered toys and keep the children's room in order. It is necessary to teach a child to observe order and accuracy from an early age, so that it becomes a habit. Children will thank you later, because these qualities will help them in the future not to waste time looking for the right things, but to use it for useful activities.

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 of 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.
