Make an Origami Box

This is easy to make Origami Box that you can make with whatever paper you want. A nice half hour craft.

6 Pieces of paper (squares)

Scissors if you do not have 6 pieces of square paper.

Get six pieces of square paper.

If you do not have square paper just grab six other pieces of paper, fold one of the corners of a shorter side over so it makes a triangle, and cut of the execs paper. When you unfold the triangle you should have a square.

All six of your papers need to be the same size.

1. Take one paper, flip it over and fold it in half.

2. Unfold the paper and fold the two sides to the middle and then unfold. This should look like to first picture.

3. Spin the paper so the four folds are horizontal and fold the bottom fourth to the middle so it looks like the second picture.

4. Take the right corner of the folder half and fold it up to the second line. Then take the top right corner and fold it down to second line as well. This should create two triangles and look like the third photo.

5. Take the smaller triangle, the one in the top right, and fold it over again so it looks like an obtuse angled isosceles triangle. Like in the fourth picture.

6. Unfold the larger triangle so your paper looks like the first picture is step 3.

7.Flip the paper around fold up the bottom so it looks like the second picture in this step, then repeat 4 and 5 in step 2 to make your paper look like the third and fourth picture.

8. After steps 1-7 flip around your paper and fold the bottom flap up so it looks like the first picture in this step.

9. Then fold the top right corner into the middle so it looks like the second picture. This should be easy, because you have already made that fold.

10. Once you have you rhombus like shape flip over the piece to the smooth side. Like in the third picture.

11. Now fold one the pointed corners to the corner that is on the same side. Repeat this with the other side and you should have a square with two triangles folded up off of it like in picture four and five.

Do numbers 1-11 on the other five pieces o paper so you have six of the exact same pieces. They must be similar it they will not be exact matches, but try to make them close.

A. Take two pieces and put on the the edges into a flap on the other. This should give you a T like shape and look like the first picture in this step.

B. Then take another piece repeating step A on one other piece so it looks like the second picture.

C. Carefully take the pieces that are flat and bend them into a corner like shape, inserting another corner in to a flap so it retains its shape. This should look like the third picture from the top, and if you flip it on its side it should look like the fourth picture.

Continue adding pieces and tucking corners in to pockets until the shape is a cube, and there you go.
