A box for little books

Here is how to make a box to hold your small folded origami books.

Take a piece of A4 paper.

  1. Fold in half from top to bottom in portrait position. Keep the folded edge at the bottom.
  2. Fold the top half down to fold in half again.
  3. Fold the top corners down to meet the bottom edge to make diagonal creases.
  4. Fold the bottom corners to the top edge to make two more diagonal creases.
  5. Where the diagonal creases end, fold left and right edges towards the middle panel. These folds create the square sides of the box.
  6. Unfold the sheet so that it is just folded in half once.
  1. Fold down the top corners on the front sheet.
  2. Fold up the bottom corners.
  3. Fold the top half of the sheet down.
  4. Pull the front section forward to make the box shape.
  5. Bring the last section forward to complete the box shape.
  6. Tuck the triangular flaps into t he diagonal pockets on either side of the box.

Voila!
