I make a box that looks very similar to the finished box - but is way easier to fold... I should make an instructable it so you could see.

I learned how to make these last year, very cool. One thing that has always frustrated me is when people making videos of origami have weird lighting, it would look a lot better if you had a light shining from the side so you could see the creases.

Great job, for some of the steps I would do the fold and then move my hand away so it can be seen a little more clearly. But I still really like it anyway. I might make this with only five sides and use it as a planter. +1
