Classic Origami Box

This origami model is one of those ones that pretty much anyone who does origami should make at some point. The Classic Origami Box is very simple to make but results in an impressive and useful little box for holding stuff, yay!

Lady1238 it depends on the size of the paper so you can mae big or small

[Xxtwilight2468xX]

Of course! I have made big and small both boxes but it depends on the paper used so
Big=Big box
Small=Small box

I always do all the steps correctly and I love how it is done....I forgot how to make a box so, in google I searched for a origami box and the first thing popped up was your one. This is a different but easier way to make a box than the original way I used... I have made 6 boxs and all are absolutely beautiful....The pictures are also so clear. Thank you so so much...The last step was made a lot easier! Thanks a lot! You did a wonderful job! 👏👍
