Tutorial: Origami Box

by on October 6, 2007

Hi all! Some of you asked for a tutorial on how to make the origami box in my last entry. Here it is!

You will need:

- 11-1/2″ x 11-1/2″ piece of patterned paper (this will be the top of the box)
- 11″ x 11″ piece of patterned paper (the bottom of the box)
- 2″ x 11″ piece of card stock (scored at 1-1/4″, 3-5/16″, 7-1/2″, and 9-5/8″
- 2 pieces of ribbon cut to approx. 12″

And on to the instructions:

Susan July 11, 2008 at 12:54 pm: This was an excellent video. You’re very dedicated to your work Kristina! Thank you. I love to see the next card on You Tube. Question? What do you do with all of the lovely cards that you make?
Vanessa Rothenbuhler July 11, 2008 at 7:48 pm: Kristina, I made one of those boxes and I had the same problem that someone else mentioned, my lid goes all the way down to the table and completely covers the bottom of the box! I love how on your boxes you can see a little bit of the bottom, so I was wondering how come mine go all the way down?

Angela July 21, 2008 at 10:43 am: Hi Kristina…

I just watched your video courtesy of a link from PTI. Thank you for showing such a simple way to make something so adorable. I have the same question as one posted earlier – my lid goes all the way down over the bottom, so I’m wondering how you get yours to stand up taller?

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful ideas. I just discovered your blog and am looking forward to lots of inspiration.
