Origami Square Gift Box

Making a beautiful origami box is easier than you may think. I love to give gifts in these because most the time people like the box so much that they consider it a gift in and of itself.

If you can follow the steps based off the pictures then don't bother reading the text, it's only included to help if you get stuck. Honestly writing about how to fold origami is not easy at all and there's a reason why most the time it only has diagrams and very little text.

Haha thanks but trust me they are far from perfect. I've been doing origami since 3rd grade so I've had about 14 years experience and that helps a bit. It usually takes me longer to fold stuff because I try to line up everything as neatly as I can and I guess that's what makes it look clean.

As far as tips go I suggest to take your time to fold neatly and take extra care with the first few creases as these are usually used as guides later on.
