    With this origami-how-to book, learn how to fold unique gift boxes that are as unique as the treasures they hold!

    Considered the most famous living origami master, Tomoko Fuse is known for her expertise in box-folding and other origami paper craft styles. The simple flat box, or tato, is an excellent introduction to the art of beginner origami and allows readers to "start small," then build to more intricate pieces.

    Handmade paper boxes are an expression of origami crafts at their very best. Experiment with different thicknesses, textures, and origami paper designs of paper for a true one-of-a-kind presentation.

    Step by step instructions and diagrams guide you from start to finish as you create:
    • Flat boxes in several different shapes
    • Boxes with multifaceted tops
    • Box tops with spiraled flourishes
    • And so much more
    Origami box folding is a relaxing and satisfying craft for all levels of expertise and--with a little practice and this easy origami book--gift-giving will never be the same.

      Tomoko Fuse's Origami Boxes - Tomoko Fuse

      Part 1

      Simple Boxes From Square Sheets

      The base and lid for each box are each folded from a single square sheet of paper. Both are very easy to make. Practice first with commercially-available, standard-sized origami paper, then try your hand at varying the sizes and using some of your favorite specialty papers. The simpler the design, the more the paper will shine.

      The Traditional Masu Box

      6 × 6 in (15 × 15 cm) sheets are standard

      The traditional Masu box is folded from a square sheet of paper and has many variations. Let’s start with the basics.

      Basic Masu Base

      Fold the corners to the center, taking care not to shift the already folded sections.

      Unfold, including the inner triangles.

      Crease and unfold.

      Open and reverse fold to form box side.

      Fold flap down and press into place.

      Masu Variation 1

      Square Box with a Lid

      6 × 6 in (15 × 15 cm) sheets are standard

      To make a lid for the Masa Box above, start from step 3 of the Basic Masu Base instructions:

      Fold to about ¹/8 in (4 mm) below the center.

      Unfold, including the inner small triangle.

      Match ◯ symbols on each side, folding along ◎ symbol.

      Unfold, including the inner triangles.

      Match ◯ symbols on each side, folding along ◎ symbol.

      Continue folding the rest of the box using steps 7–11 from page 6.

      The box is now complete.

      Tip

      By changing the width of the folds, you can vary the box dimensions

      Masu Variation 2

      Cube Box with a Lid

      6 × 6 in (15 × 15 cm) sheets are standard

      Because this style of Masu Box will be deeper, it will work well for the base of the Dome Box (page 24)

      Crease and fold into thirds, then unfold.
