In this origami box tutorial, I used a 6" square. The end result is 2" x 2" x 1". You can make two of them so that the container has a lid. Or, you can many many boxes in different sizes and stack them inside, or on top of, one another. :)
Written Summary
MATERIALS
- One square sheet (in this tutorial, I used a 6" square). Personally, I like this size best. :-)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fold square in half, diagonally. Unfold, and repeat in the other direction. Notice the center point (drawn in pencil).
2. Fold two opposite corners toward the center intersection.
Fold upwards along the "dots" (right image). Repeat on the other side.
Flatten & crease with your fingers against a flat surface (right image). REPEAT on the other end, and you're done! :-)
You can also make a special "candy lid" for the this box, which I designed, as shown below. (Click on image for tutorial).
