Origami box: a simple scheme and step-by-step video of how to make a box in the form of a heart with a lid

The Eastern art of paper folding, known throughout the world as "origami", is great as a hobby and a way for relaxation. The utmost attention and concentration on the work process literally immerse you in the world of paper figures. You seem to be disconnected from the outside world, following step by step instructions of the scheme in anticipation of the creation of another paper sculpture. It is a mistake to believe that in this technique it is possible to create only models for decor. For example, a box of origami Heart can become a very beautiful and original way to decorate a gift.

Japanese craftsmen constantly invent new ways to implement original ideas of adding paper. Watching the process of creating the next masterpiece on the video, you catch yourself thinking that all genius is really simple. And a simple sheet of paper in your eyes becomes bizarre, forming into a conceived figure.

Today I want to share the secret of how to make an origami box with a lid of paper.

To have a nice and neat box of origami, the diagram is very detailed. It should be noted that this model is designed for experienced craftsmen of paper addition. In this regard, it is worthwhile to practice well on more simple figures, before proceeding to the creation of packaging.

But if you are confident in your abilities and skills in this subtle eastern art, then, without hesitation, break into the work.

The model of the box will consist of two parts: the base and the lid. And in finished form it looks very original and presentable, not inferior to factory billets:

• 1 sheet of A4 color paper;
• Scissors;
• The hour of your free time;

First you need to prepare the paper for work. To do this, bend the A4 sheet in half along the long side and cut through the fold. We got two long rectangles - these are blanks for the future box.

Below is a detailed diagram of the progress of the work. Be very attentive, and most importantly - careful in the process of adding paper, so that the future box does not lose its presentable appearance.

If all the items are true, then in the final version you should get this beauty:

But even if your knowledge in the origami technique is extensive, and in the course of the work still there were difficulties, do not rush to get upset. A detailed video master class will greatly facilitate the process:

I very much hope that the implementation process will give you pleasure. By the way, the fact that the box has a lid implies a gift with a surprise. Inside, you can put, for example, cash gifts or small origami hearts with touching wishes. In other words, everything that your imagination will last.

Gifts made by yourself will definitely cause a lot of positive emotions in the person to whom the gift is intended. And the ability to make packages for them independently, greatly facilitates the task with clearance.
