DIY paper origami box diagrams. Boxes for small items made of paper using the origami technique. #35 Box “Funny Frog”

The origami technique is famous for its excellent originality in simple things. What is this? Yes, take even the most ordinary boxes, which will take about 10-15 minutes to make. Fast, uncomplicated, original, interesting, practical - this is not even half of their advantages. But first things first. Who can use a DIY origami paper box and why? Yes, almost everyone, because the functionality of such a seemingly simple thing is not limited to putting all sorts of unnecessary rubbish into it. Let's look at various ways to create and use such a product.

The simplest way

To make such a box you will need paper, the format of which varies from A4 to A1, a little time and perseverance.

The sheet must be visually divided into 3 even parts and bent, leaving visible folds.

The side parts, right and left, need to be bent in half.

The resulting part is straightened symmetrically relative to the center.

The resulting pocket expands, forming the shape of a cube with an empty space inside.

To add rigidity, bends are made in all corners.

Ready! Now you can decorate the craft using appliqués or paint it with paints. Using an A4 sheet, you can easily create a convenient product that will fit keys or other everyday items. Using a sheet of paper, you can easily create a place to permanently store such things.

Working according to Jeremy Shafer's scheme

Quite a necessary thing, especially for those who are tired of untangling their headphones every time. Moreover, to create such a cool thing you will only need a sheet of 20x20 cm and about half an hour of free time. Detailed instructions are described and shown in the video.

Product with lid

This modification of the simplest product was invented by the origami master Tadashi Mori. In fact, a chest whose lid is decorated with a cute heart is perfect for giving a small gift to your other half.

The peculiarity of the product is the fact that the size of the finished craft is a quarter of the side of the sheet of paper used. This greatly simplifies any calculations.

If the craftsman has deliberately thought about what item will be stored in the box he is creating, then he can easily determine the required sheet size. In addition, creating such a thing will take no more than 20 minutes of your time.

Tool box

A rather interesting idea was brought to life by origami master Hans-Werner Guth, who assembled a box from paper that looked like a toolbox. Of course, one can argue about the functionality of this product, because the material used is fragile enough to pack, for example, a hammer, but it is quite suitable for storing nails or screws.

To create such a box you will need thick paper measuring, for example, 15 x 15 cm and about 20 minutes of free time. Since the author did not provide an assembly diagram and a master class, to assemble this model, you will have to think a little about the pattern.

In addition to those presented in the article, there are many more variations in the design and practical applications of paper boxes made using the origami technique. In addition, each product can be originally decorated, taking into account the holiday in honor of which the gift will be presented, the interior of the room where the gift will be located, decorating a shelf or other base. Considering the ease of creating any of the listed products, these diagrams can be considered training and provided to beginners as practice for creating various forms in the origami style.

Pyramids

Agree, it’s always nice to receive unexpected gifts. And when they are beautifully packaged - doubly so. The pyramid will be an excellent solution for packaging a small gift. Such pyramids can be either triangular or quadrangular.

To create a 3-gonal pyramid you will need the following blanks:

• 3 square sheets measuring 12.7 x 12.7 cm;
• 6 square sheets measuring 6.3 x 6.3 cm.

For a 4-corner box you will need:

• 5 squares measuring 12.7 x 12.7 cm;
• 8 squares measuring 6.3 x 6.3 cm.

Assembling such a craft does not require a lot of time and effort. To create it, you don’t even need a diagram, because the whole process shown in the video lesson is so simple that even a child can figure it out. Despite this, such a pyramid with a surprise inside will cause a lot of delight and joy.

Boxes help us organize the storage of many things: cosmetics, office supplies, cables, and so on. Of course, you can use ready-made packaging for products or equipment and then decorate it. But we suggest you learn how to make an origami box. It can not only serve as an organizer, but also as gift wrapping.

Origami paper box

Everyone knows that you can fold origami from almost any paper. In the case of a craft like a box, this rule does not apply a little. Why:

• In the process of creating a box, the paper must be folded repeatedly and then unfolded, so paper that is too thick is not suitable.
• The box is not just a craft. It will be used as an organizer or for gift wrapping. Therefore, too thin sheets are of no use here.

What happens? It is best to choose from 70 to 120 gsm. m. As for the type, you can fold regular colored sheets, special packaging sheets or for scrapbooking. The main thing is to have the right density.

Simple boxes

Take a square or rectangular piece of paper, depending on the type of origami box you need. Fold it in half twice (illustrations 1 and 2). Unfold the sheet once so that the fold line is in front of you, and fold the left and right corners towards the middle (picture 3).

Then fold the bottom part in half twice to form an accordion (Illustration 4). Turn the figure over (picture 5). Fold the right and left sides of the shape to the fold line in the center (Illustration 6). Now you need to fold the lower part of the part into an accordion twice (picture 7). Make folds in those parts of the figure that are shown in illustrations 8, 9 and 10.

Now all you have to do is unfold the part, tucking in the top corner, as in picture 11. Such a box will be strong enough, even if you use ordinary paper to create it.

Packing box

Take a nice square shaped piece of paper. When choosing, consider the size of what you plan to put there. That is, the larger the gift, the more sheet is needed.

So, make two fold lines to form a cross. That is, fold the paper into a triangle shape, unfold it and fold it again, only connecting the other two corners. Now make an accordion by folding the leaf three times. Straighten the paper. Repeat the accordion fold, only now on the other side so that the new folds are perpendicular to the previous ones.

The packaging is ready. All that remains is to fold it. To do this, wrap the four vertices, as in the picture above, and begin to assemble the figure along the fold lines. Everything should just work out for you, without any effort.

In order for the origami box to be a full-fledged gift wrapping, you need to make holes at the edges and thread a ribbon.

Lockable boxes

This origami box with a lid is made as follows:

1. Take a square piece of paper and fold it in half twice to form a cross from the fold lines (Illustration 1).
2. Then straighten the leaf and curl each vertex towards the center (Illustration 2).
3. Now fold the figure in half, bending one part back (illustration 3).
4. Fold the right side to the left as shown in Illustration 4.
5. Now you just need to fold the figure by pressing on the pocket (illustration 5).
6. Turn the part over (Illustration 6).
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 on this side (Illustration 7).
8. Open the pockets that are marked with red arrows in illustration 8.
9. Expand the figure (Figure 9).
10. Repeat step six on this side (Illustration 10).
11. Fold the piece in half (Illustration 11).
12. Fold the figure again as in illustration 12.
13. Now fold both sides along the dotted lines in illustration 13.
14. Pull the figure by the upper wings (illustration 14).

A wonderful origami box that can be closed is ready!

Surely many people have experience in wrapping gifts themselves. The stored surprises can be wrapped in beautiful paper, placed in special paper bags, you can even glue a paper box yourself and decorate it to your liking. We offer another unusual option for handicraft lovers. These are packages made using the origami technique. Detailed diagrams will help even those who are just taking their first steps in mastering paper art to cope with this figurine. Let's create cute paper boxes of different sizes using the origami technique quickly and easily with our own hands.

We make origami paper boxes with our own hands using different techniques.

We will start with the simplest version of a paper box, which you can make yourself. Even those who previously only made boats and airplanes in early childhood can handle it without much difficulty, and even then they have successfully lost this skill. You can make such boxes even on the way to work in a taxi or during your lunch break.

We only need one square sheet of paper. Because the scheme is very simple and does not require a large number of complex folds; you can take ordinary colored double-sided paper. This option will be even better than special origami paper - our box will be denser and more suitable for putting something in it.

In principle, all actions are clear according to the diagram, however, just in case, we will further explain the steps.

1) Bend the sheet in half and unfold it back. Rotate 90 degrees and repeat the same thing.

2) Turn the sheet over to the other side. We outline the diagonals of the square.

3) Bend the corners towards the center.

4) From the center of the resulting diamond, bend the corners of the top layer to the sides and return it back. Expand the top right and bottom left sides of the diamond.

5) Bend the lower right and upper left sides of the rhombus along the marked parallel lines.

6) Raise the side of the box

7) Raise the second side of the box.

8) Our handmade origami boxes made from ordinary paper are ready! Now you can put candy or some other small things in it.

Trying to make a paper box with a lid and a heart shape

Making a paper box with a lid follows the same pattern. First you need to make an ordinary box, and then make its lid in the same way. Don't forget that the sheet of paper from which the lid will be made should be a little larger (about a centimeter) than the sheet for the base. This box looks like a real box and is more suitable for packing a small gift.

On Valentine's Day, a heart box will be a romantic gift wrapping. There are several ways to make such packaging, including using the origami technique. However, unlike a simple square box, this requires some skills and perseverance. However, the result will undoubtedly delight you and surprise your partner.

Making a glued version in the shape of a heart with your own hands

If this option seems too complicated, but you still want to make a romantic gift with your own hands, we suggest making a similar paper box not using the origami technique, but simply using a special template.

• Thick colored double-sided paper
• Simple pencil
• Ruler

1) Transfer this diagram onto paper to the required scale.

2) Cut using scissors. Fold over the areas to be glued. If the paper is too thick, you can help yourself with a ruler.

3) Bend the main part of the heart along the lines, helping with a ruler. Fold the figure into one whole. Apply a thin layer of glue to the corresponding protrusions and glue the heart together. If you want the box to open, you just need to bend the tabs inward, and for convenience, glue a small “tab” to the side of the lid.

1) Transfer this diagram onto paper to the required scale and cut it out using scissors.

2) It is better to assemble the figure from the bottom. After you connect the top, you can see the image of a heart on the box.

With these simple designs, you can surprise your family and friends with unusual gift packaging. Or you can put all the paper clips that have been lying around in disarray on your desk for a long time in these boxes... Or put a note with a declaration of love and then our box will definitely turn into a box with a surprise! For those who care about the environment, it is important to note the environmental friendliness of origami, because their production does not require any synthetic substances or paints. Therefore, you can master new and new models without fear.
