Hello in this tutorial I show you how to make an origami basic box
material
2 letter-size sheets of 1 color or a different colors, ruler, and scissors
We'll start with the cover
take the letter-size sheet and align the upper side with the left side
mark the fold
when it´s ready, cut the excess
you´ll have have something like this
take the upper right corner to the lower left corner
mark the fold just when it is aligned
When you open the figure, you should have this, two diagonal folds forming an "X"
take the lower right corner and take it to the center
when it´s aligned, mark the fold
follow this procedure for each corner
The result will be this
take the right side to the center
mark the fold
flip the figure like this and do the same
you will have 4 vertical sections
flip horizontally and do the same
take the right side to the center
mark the fold
flip
and do the same
You will have a grid
take the triangles on the edges and open them
take the top and bottom edges inward
fold the left corner like this
I'll explain slowly
look at the folds, the third is where we will align the bottom edge up
Make the fold and do the same in the third fold but down
do the same on the left side
the third fold up and then down
open the figure and hold like this
flip to see the figure vertically
take these verticals to put them together in the center
when you have them ready, fold the top remaining inward and mark the fold
we have already the half of the box
we must do the same on the other side
move the diagonals until the center
like this
Push the remaining inward
mark the fold and accommodate the box
ready, the cover is finished
now lets do the base
repeat the initial steps to form a square
after finishing fold in half
Accommodate like this, we will work with the top part
trace marks on the top on both sides at half centimeter
help yourself with a ruler and pencil
join with a straight line
cut this area
Open the figure and you´ll have this
a smaller square than the previous
to assemble the base, follow the same steps of the previous procedure
once you finish, you will finish the base
take the cover and check, it should fits perfectly
Do as many as you want in different sizes and colors, use them to save a gift or any other object
we're done
