Origami Acquaint Box!

On i peculiarly piteous Christmas...not that Christmas wasn't fabulous...

but that funds were low...

I decided to brand gift boxes to decorate the Christmas tree with.

I made 25 of the same size box...wrapped them in 

leftover giftwrapping that I had saved for years...

in addition to tied them amongst a bow!  Perfect decor for our blueish in addition to silvery theme.

 I learned how to flexure this box inward third grade...Mrs. Holman's class.

I honey that she taught me how to brand this! 

Here's the origami how to:

foursquare paper...

 Folded inward one-half in addition to half...square way...

 and thence triangle way...

 Then the corners flexure into the center...

 And thence the edges flexure into the centre describe of piece of occupation every bit well...all four sides.



 Open it dorsum upwards in addition to y'all should convey loads of piffling squares inward there!

You tin flexure it...or cutting at this point.
I ever cut.
Right along these four penned inward lines.

 Like so.

 Then flexure over the corners of the non-cut sides.

 overlap the flaps of the cutting pieces...

 And flexure over the give away flap

 Tuck it inward the centre tight in addition to practice the same on the other side!

 Ta Da!
Now y'all tin practice the same procedure amongst a newspaper merely 1/4"
smaller on both sides...and it volition tally tight within this lid similar a tight gift box!

Here's the pace yesteryear pace without the cutting...just folding inward the corners of the flap.

And that is how I decorated the tree amongst materials I had on hand!

These brand a darling gift box for jewelry or modest gifts!

Linking upwards to THESE parties this week!
