Origami Star Box Tutorial

Today, I'll be showing you how to make an origami star box tutorial. This box is a little challenging, especially to people newer to origami, though the finished product is really cool. It's also useful for holding small things!

• Square piece of paper (Or you could cut printer paper into a square)

First, fold your paper from left to right, then unfold. After that, fold from up to down, and unfold. You should see a plus on your paper.

Flip your paper over, then fold your paper diagonally, as shown above, then unfold.

Flip your paper over, then press down on the middle of your paper, essentially "popping" the paper.

This part can be tricky. First, you're going to want to fold along your paper in half, then slowly pushing the sides up. You should see four flaps forming: fold two together on each side, as shown. Your paper should be a thicker square.

Make sure you know where the different ends of the square are, as orientation is really important for the next steps. The top part of your square is the first picture (there are no "holes" in this corner), and the second picture is the bottom of your square (there's a "hole" on the bottom) (though your square should be rotated so the top corner is actually the top of your square).

Now, with the "holed" corner on the bottom, kite fold the top layer as shown, bringing the left and right corners into the middle.

Flip your paper over, and repeat (again, with the "holed" corner still on the bottom)

Now, fold the inner corners to the outside as shown. Do this on all sides.

Now, undo the folds you did on Step 9.

Now, the flaps that you made in Steps 6 and 7 have 2 layers. You're going to want to unfold one of those layers, then flatten it out as shown. Do this with all 4 flaps.

Now, you're going to want to fold the flaps as shown. Only fold the flaps I show.

Now, fold along the creases to the middle. Do this on all four flaps.

Now, fold the bottom corner up until the crease is right below the upper triangles. Do this on both sides.

Now, repeat Step 11. After that, repeat Step 13.

Finally, slowly open the box as I show above. Pull the flaps to start it, then pop out the other flaps as shown. Make sure there aren't any dents, and you're done!
