How to Fold an Origami Pyramid Box

Step 1

Firstly, take out the bigger paper, and start with the white side of the paper facing up. Fold it in half horizontally, crease it well then unfold.

Step 2

Fix the bottom right point, and take the right edge, fold it to the left, ensuring the top right point meets the horizontal crease. Crease it well then unfold it.

Step 3

Repeat this for the left side, creating an intersection point formed by the two creases at the top part.

Step 4

Fold the top edge down along the line extending parallel to both sides from this intersection.

Step 5

Fold the paper in half horizontally, crease it well then unfold.

Step 6

Fold the bottom left corner to the intersection point, formed by the middle crease you made in the previous step, and the crease you made in step 2, shown by the red point. Crease it well, and unfold it.

Step 7

Repeat this for the bottom right corner.

Step 8

Unfold the top layer.

Step 9

Fold the left and right edges to the center, along the line extending vertically to both sides from the intersection points on the left and right(shown by the dotted lines), to align with the line formed by connecting the two intersection points at the top and bottom(shown by the red line).

Step 10

Fold the bottom edge up along the first crease from the bottom.

Step 11

Tuck the two layers on the top in the pocket you just folded up.

Step 12

Push the top left and right corners to the center to create a vertical opening, forming a pyramid.

Step 13

Now take out the smaller red paper, we are going to fold a heart to decorate your pyramid. Start with the red side facing up, fold it in half vertically, crease it well then unfold.

Step 14

Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge.

Step 15

Take the top edge of the top layer, and fold it down to align with the bottom edge.

Step 16

Flip the paper over.

Step 17

Fold both the bottom left and right corners up to meet the midpoint of the top edge.

Step 18

Flip it over again.

Step 19

Fold both the left and right corners down diagonally to the bottom corner, revealing two layers under them.

Step 20

Fold the top edge down to align with the line formed by the connecting of the bottom left and bottom right corners.

Step 21

Lift the two top layers of the flaps you folded in the previous step, and push the left and right corners down, creating two triangles.

Step 22

Fold the two points in the top middle down diagonally.

Step 23

Fold the two top corners down a little.

Step 24

Flip the paper over.

Step 25

Tuck the two corners behind the heart into the two pockets on the pyramid part, to fix the heart and close the opening of the pyramid.
