Hyoko-hyoko Box
Let’s make a cute box you can poke and play with! You’ll need four sheets of origami paper.
Two will form the box, and the other two will make the contents—feel free to choose colors that match the look you want for each part.
After you make the box shape using two sheets, take one of the “contents” sheets, fold it into a long strip, and then fold it to divide it into three sections.
Cut the other “contents” sheet in half, join the halves to make a longer vertical strip, and fold it into an accordion.
Next, assemble the two box pieces into a box, place the accordion-folded strip inside, and insert the triply folded strip at the front—and you’re done! If you like, decorate each part by drawing faces or adding stickers.

If you create them in various sizes, you can give them to friends as message cards or use them to decorate your room.
This method uses both the colored front and the white back of a single sheet of origami paper, so you can complete it with just one sheet.
It’s not difficult, so give it a try and master it.
Once you’ve folded your ice cream, you might also make it even cuter by decorating the ice cream part with colorful toppings using markers or stickers.
