Rectangular Box with Lid
This video shows you how to make an origami box with a lid out of two sheets of paper. This fold makes a great gift box for small presents – I often use this instead of wrapping paper. It’s nice for adding a personal touch to a holiday gifts, a birthday present or anniversary gift… (the first year is paper guys). This box can be easily decorated with other origami.
Materials:
- 2 sheets of paper (scrapbook paper works well because it’s usually a heavier weight paper and also it comes in large sizes)
Dimensions:
- In this video I use 12” x 12” scrapbook paper. The final box comes out to be 3” x 3” x 6”
- dimensions will be N/4 x N/4 x N/2 where “N” is the original edge length of your paper
Um, how to make the other side of the box?
Thanks! im am msberrymary on utube
is it ok if we use printer paper?
Sure, but you'll have to turn it into a square first.
is it okay if I use 6×6 paper instead of 12×12?
Ava, you can make this with any size square paper… if you use 6×6, it will of course be smaller, but still work.
i couldnt get it it was complicating for me to create the creases
which creases in particular? there are quite a few… let me know the minute:seconds that you get confused in the video, and I can try to help.
1 minute 58 seconds was so confusing i almost lost my head
i got to confused too…. haha
This is the origami i made.

love the box but is there a link for pdf instructions. am making boxes filled with money for christmas instead of gifts plus they have the lovely box for keeps.
No, sorry, I don't have printed instructions for most of these because of copyright issues. Your idea as using them as part of your Christmas gifts is great.
