The festive season is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about the gifts and the way to present them!

I'm Evgeniya Righini-Brand, and in this quick class I will show you how to turn a sheet of paper into a neat box in a few simple steps without using any other materials! This is a really simple, but versatile technique for making origami boxes, which are great for packaging small gifts, and if you are not in a holiday mood you can also make nice trinket boxes or desk tidies!

In this class you'll learn:

how to fold paper into a box;
how to calculate box sizes and proportions;
how to create complementary lids & inserts;
what types of paper and card to use to create original boxes;
what extra touches you can add to make your boxes special.

Materials:

90 gsm or origami paper to practice with;
120–200 gsm paper or card to make final durable boxed (please watch Paper Ideas video for more details and ideas).

Tools:

ruler;
pencil;
craft knife;
cutting mat (optional);
scissors.

Resources (please see attached files in the project section):

Printable Box Templates;
Folding Instructions;
Size Guide;
Printable Patterns & Colours in A4 & A3 formats.

I cannot wait to see your origami boxes! Join in and let’s get folding!;)
