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.

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