That irresistibly puffy feel! A star-shaped box

Let’s try making an origami box with a fun shape: it has a small opening and a plump, rounded interior.

The puffy shape looks cute, and the overall star-like form makes it even more adorable.

After folding to a certain point, use scissors to cut about halfway.

When you unfold the cut piece, it becomes a pentagon.

Fold this pentagonal origami into the shape of a box.

Adjust the opening and the bottom, and you’ll have a plump, star-shaped box.

You can put in small items, of course, as well as little treats like candies or chocolates.

What a cute idea to make the rabbit’s body into a box.

Since the creasing steps are important for this idea, let’s proceed carefully.

First, fold the origami paper in half to make a crease, open it, and then fold it into a triangle twice.

Next, from here, make three evenly spaced creases above and below, parallel to the first crease.

Using these creases and the diagonal creases, fold in the two left corners to make the ears.

On the opposite side, add one more crease parallel to the outside of the diagonal crease and make an inside reverse fold in an M shape.

From here, fold in the sides and finish forming the box shape.

Origami cat trinket box

This is an origami box with cute, perky cat ears.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, then open it and make a cushion fold to create creases.

Fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1.5 cm, aligning them with the center of the X-shaped crease.

Next, fold the left and right edges together in half.

Then fold the top and bottom together in half.

Open the pocketed sections and squash them to make two triangles.

Rotate or flip the paper so that the folded parts are inside and the triangles point downward.

Pull down the two top corners on the front-facing side, and fold the top edge to align with the center line.

Then fold the left and right corners to the center line, and tuck the two corners just below into the triangle.

Fold the back side the same way.

The white parts that remain will become the ears, so open it from the top into a box, making sure those parts stand up as ears.

Let’s customize the classic origami box and make a pig-shaped box.

Place the origami with the white side facing up, and first fold the bottom two corners to meet at the center.

Flip the paper over, and fold the remaining corners the same way.

Then flip the paper over once more and fold all four corners to the center.

You should now see two white squares on the back; fold both of them into triangles to make the ears.

After making three equal folds to crease the paper, unfold two of the four corners you brought to the center—the two that are not two-toned—and then refold them inward to finish shaping the box.

Here’s an idea for making a box with a rabbit’s ears standing up.

First, fold the origami paper into a square and a triangle twice each to make creases.

Then do a cushion fold, and using the creases, collapse it into a square with the corners on the outside.

Open the central slit of the square and squash it into a rectangle; repeat on the other side.

Flip layers so that the folded parts end up on the inside, then fold the left and right edges of the revealed face to the center line.

These will be the rabbit’s ears.

Fold the back side the same way, then open it out from the center to complete the box.

In conclusion

Cute boxes made with origami are perfect for small gifts or as little containers. From simple designs to customized variations, the way you fold can completely change their look—one of the unique joys of origami. As you work with your hands, try finding a design you love. The finished, cute box will add a touch of color to your everyday life.
