How to Make an Origami Gift Box with Lid_Easy Origami Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Take out the green paper, and start with the white side of the paper facing up. Fold in half horizontally and unfold.

Step 2

Fold it in half vertically, then unfold it to create a new crease.

Step 3

Fold both the top and bottom edges toward the center to meet the horizontal crease, crease them well then unfold, getting two new creases.

Step 4

Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center again, to meet the two creases you made in the previous step, and unfold.

Step 5

Fold the left and right edges to meet the vertical crease, and unfold.

Step 6

Fold the left and right edges to meet the creases you made in the previous step, crease well then unfold.

Step 7

Lift the right and bottom edges to make them stand, and expand the bottom right corner.

Press down the two edges along the creases, and flatten the bottom right corner to make the bottom right point of the paper meet the intersection point formed by two creases, creating a small square.

Step 8

Lift the top left point of the small square, and fold it to the bottom right diagonally.

Step 9

Then fold this point toward the top left to meet the diagonal edge.

Step 10

Take the top flap above the small square, and fold it to the top left along the dotted line, creating a diamond shape.

Step 11

Fold the top right corner and bottom left corners of the small square backward a little, getting two creases perpendicular to the diagonal crease.

Then slightly lift the diamond layer, and push its left and right corners toward the center, next, flatten them along the two creases you just made.

Step 12

Cut the top edge of the diamond a little as the picture shows.

Step 13

Fold the two cut edges backward a little bit, creating a heart shape, you may need to be patient with this delicate step.

Step 14

Repeat steps 7 to 13 for the remaining three corners to create another three hearts.

Step 15

Flip it over.

Step 16

Fold the four corners to the middle intersection point.

Step 17

Flip the model over.

Step 18

Similarly, fold the four corners to the middle intersection point diagonally.

Step 19

Fold the bottom edge up a little along the dotted line, crease well then unfold.

Step 20

Repeat this for the remaining three edges.

Step 21

Unfold the top and bottom flaps.

Step 22

Lift the left and right edges along the creases you just made to make them stand.

Step 23

Lift the top part along the crease shown by the dotted line, and make it stand. Next, push the left and right sides of the lifted top part toward the center.

Then press the top part down, and flatten it along the existing creases. Make the top triangle perfectly fill the white part of the bottom, and shape an edge.

Step 24

Repeat this for the bottom part.

Step 25

Flip the model over, now we get a complete lid.

Step 26

Take out another piece of paper, start with the white side of the paper facing up, crease it well then unfold.

Step 27

Fold it in half vertically, crease it well then unfold.

Step 28

Fold the four points to the center intersection point.

Step 29

Hold the model in your hand so that it bends in the same way as the picture shows, like an “S”, then flatten this edge, creating two creases to divide this edge into three equal parts. 　

Step 30

Fold the bottom right edge toward the top left along the dotted line (formed by extending vertically from the point you just made to the bottom left edge). Crease it well then unfold.

Step 31

Repeat this for the top left edge.

Step 32

Fold the bottom left edge toward the top right along the dotted line, to align with the line connecting by the two red points. (the red points are formed by the intersection of the two creases you just made and the slits).

Crease it well then unfold.
