How to Make an Origami Gift Box

i know what you meen

song made me sleepy

Alright, thanks, I'll be sure to try that

Did you change any of the dimensions/ ratios of the paper? Although there is some flexibility in the ratio you have to be aware that what is shown in the vid is at the limit: if you extend the upper part only a little bit you can not do the "spring" bit without tearing it a little. So if you make the fold shown at 0:33 a little off the middle and use the shorter bit for the "spring" part you should be ok... hopefully ;)

By the way, I have a question... on the bottom/top of the box with the part where its like the Spring Into Action piece, would you happen to know why when i push it down slightly, the paper where the folds are start to rip?

oh thank you! that's such a great idea and a simple one too :)

Thanks! :D

Yes! You can have the "star" on the inside and have the flat surface (more or less plain, you of course can see 5 triangles that form the bottom) on the outside. You basically do the same as in the vid but reverse the rim of the box before closing the ring... if you know what I mean... ;) I tried and it went really well :)

hey! I'm kinda starting at origami and I just want to ask a question. what it I don't want the bottom part to have the "star"? I mean, what if I just want a plain bottom, is there any way of doing it? thanks :)

i just love your videos...Me and my kids..We are wow! You are amazing and i can learn it very easy...You explain it well(without words but is very good) and anybody can do it..Sandra Iraida&kids wish to everybody: HAPPY HOLLYDAYS!!!!

all of your stuff is awesome. i'm definitely going to attempt to use this for the holidays.

That's a really nice box ;) I think I'm gonna go make one and put some jewelry in it and give it to my girlfriend. =] thanks so much

I am sure it would work very well using thin gift wrapping paper (even better than the copy paper used in the vid...) just make sure that ratios are about the same (do not need to be exactly the same) good luck ;)

kool!!! this looks really nice! i'm gonna try to make one and put a necklace in it or sumthin 4 someone do u know if there is paper that is this sizethat is like decorated or something to make this wid?
