Origami paper gift box: diagram and master class

We present to your attention a simple but interesting master class that describes in detail how to make an origami gift box. This cute paper thing is very easy to create with your own hands.

Tools and materials Time: 30 minutes • Difficulty: 3/10

scrapbooking paper;
stationery glue or PVA;
scissors;
pencil;
ruler;
cutting mat.

This interesting origami gift box is perfect for those times when you urgently need beautiful packaging, but don’t have the strength or desire to run to the store!

On the eve of the New Year holidays, we made a whole bunch of these boxes so that we would have enough to congratulate all our loved ones, colleagues and friends! However, these boxes can be used all year round and keep whatever you want in them!

Step-by-step instructions with photos

Let’s start creating a beautiful origami gift box for loved ones with our own hands.

Step 1: Cut out the paper

Carefully measure and cut your paper to the desired size.

To make an origami box, you will need 2 square pieces of paper, one of which should be 1.2 cm smaller than the second. Therefore, if you use standard sheets of scrap paper measuring 30 x 30 cm, you need to reduce the second sheet to dimensions 28.8 x 28.8 cm. The larger piece of paper forms the lid, and the smaller piece forms the bottom.

Step 2: Form the pleats

Place the sheet in front of you with the design facing down and fold it in half. Next, open it, rotate it 90 degrees and fold it in half again. Your folds should form a cross.

Next, fold the paper from one corner to the opposite and form a triangle. Open it, rotate it 90 degrees and repeat.

Step 3: Fold the Corners

Now fold each corner into the center of the paper square.

Your folded sheet should look like the picture in the top left corner of the photo below.

Step 4: Fold the Edges

Take your square and fold its bottom edge towards the center.
Repeat for the other side. Your folded paper should now look like a rectangle.
Open it, rotate it 90 degrees and repeat. It should now look like the image below on the right.

Step 5: Form the Lid

Lift 2 opposite triangles and turn them flat.

Take the top flap and begin folding it inside the lid along the formed folds. This is the part where you may need to use a little glue. If the shields of your triangle do not fit very tightly, apply a thin layer of glue to each of them, press and leave until dry.

Rotate the craft 180 degrees and repeat on the other side. As you can see, our origami gift box has already begun to take shape. Left just a little bit!

Step 6: Make the Bottom

Repeat steps 2-5 for the smaller scrap paper square.

Once complete, the larger box should easily fit on top of the smaller bottom.

A charming origami gift box has been created with your own hands! To make the medium sized box we used 25 x 25 cm and 23.8 x 23.8 cm sheets, and for the small box we used 20 x 20 cm and 18.8 x 18.8 cm paper.

We hope you enjoyed our master class. And if you have any questions, write to us in the x below. Happy holidays to you!
