Getting Started

Technically, since you make two scissor cuts to create these boxes, they’re not genuine origami. But the boxes are so charming and easy to make that you likely won't care much about technicalities.

Once you’ve made one of these boxes for the first time, you’ll fully understand the process, and making more will be a cinch. You may want to practice first with a piece of scrap paper.

Skill Level

  • Beginner

You Will Need

  • Assorted decorative papers (2 pieces for each box: 1 for the bottom, 1 for the lid)
  • Scissors
  • Bone folder or straightedge
  • Pencil
