1 · November 12, 2011

Tutorial for Origami Gift Box (Perfect For Washi Tapes)

P1020889 P1020890

Basics:

When folding the paper, it is ok to leave a small gap but do not go over the points/lines as the red arrows shown in this tutorial.

If you are new to origami, please practice on some printer paper or scraps first.

Supplies:

[Traditional] A square piece of paper (any size), Pencil, Ruler and Eraser (Skip Step 2)

[Scor-pal] 6" x 6" paper, Scor-pal (Start with Step 2)

Optional: Bone Folder, Embellishments, Stamps (as shown in Step 7)

IMG 0923 IMG 0927

1. [Traditional] Mark on the back of your paper diagonally as shown below:

P1020849

[Traditional] Fold the four corners to the center as shown: (It is ok to have gaps)

P1020850 P1020852

[Traditional] Open up and fold to the cross point as the red arrow shown below. Open up and fold the next corner in.

[Traditional] Remove the pencil marks when you have finished all four corners.

2. [Scor-pal] 6"x6" Patterned-side up: line up at 4-1/4'' and sore at 2-1/8'', 3-1/4'', 5-1/4'' and 6-5/8'' as shown.

(I marked the 4-1/4'' line at the bottom of the scor-pal for an easy line-up).

Turn the paper 90 degrees and score again at 2-1/8'', 3-1/4'', 5-1/4'' and 6-5/8''.

Finished fold lines shown as Patterned-side down:

7. Fold the four flaps down as shown

P1020874 P1020876

[Traditional] You may have gaps on the flaps.

P1020877

[Scor-pal] You will have a little overlapping on the flaps. Turn around and cut the little extra paper off.

P1020879 P1020881

If you want to stamp, do so before step 8.

8. Fold the flaps back down one by one counter-clockwise.

P1020882 P1020883
