Check out the teensy origami box I attempted. Success! But I think I muttered, "Wait. What?" about sixteen times while making it. I ignored the recommendation to start with a large sheet of paper and went for the 3 cm box, following this instructional video by Sara Adams. She demonstrates a design by Dave Brill—which must be short for brilliant, because who in the world figures out how to fold a box with a hinged lid from one sheet of paper? Happy Folding is a fun site with lots of other how-to origami videos. For example, maybe you need a Valentine origami ring to put in that box.
This is a great idea to use to wrap a small gift or special treat. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool and so cute - thank you for sharing,
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend :)
This would be perfect for chocolate covered cake balls!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteDid she stop and answer you when you asked "What?"
Mum
No, but I forced her to say it over and over. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is an excellent documentary available on Netflix about origami called Between the Folds. Thanks for sharing this project! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteAgreed—Between The Folds is great!
ReplyDeleteYES. I have been on a huuuuuuge origami kick lately! I've been experimenting with going over my paper creations with Mod Podge to make them a little less flimsy.
ReplyDeleteOh, something that cute deserves a real ring inside it! Well, done... I may need a magnifier to attempt this!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I needed this last weekend to wrap a 5 year olds birthday present. Hair clips are a little awkward!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing !
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe, beginning with a simple sheet and finishing with a box like that is just incredible !
I made one today, it won't be the last one ! Thankyou again !
I made the box several times years ago, but each time I sweat! Not an easy one, but so clever!!
ReplyDeleteSuperb fold! Great to hear you could follow the video, even if I must have felt like a parrot at the 16th time. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy folding!

Very, very cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletewow, that's cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I love origami, so I might have to try making that little ring and the box to put it in!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute, tiny box! I've never tried one like this...thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis was quite the project! Definitely not for beginners or for the impatient. I finished my first one just now. Not going to specify how long it took... it doesn't look that great either! Maybe my next one will be nicer... But I DID IT! :P
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you came, you folded, you conquered! I came thiiiiiis close to throwing in the towel at one point, too. Good work.
ReplyDeleteIt looked like origami chattering teeth before I clicked on the thumbnail.
ReplyDeleteHa, someone needs to figure out how to make that!
ReplyDeleteI can't open it can someone help me?
ReplyDeletePrimissima.
