This box is amazing. I made about 15 of these for Christmas last year for my friends. You can use any size paper and they still turn out perfectly. I made one for my best friend out of poster paper. Super fun, easy to follow video and makes an awe inspiring box. Just watching it again to brush up on the folds. Thanks again.

[@wendyneal3283]

Thank you for such clear instruction, lots of pause and replay but I got there in the end. Great.

[@MusicianofDeath]

Patience is the key. After many tries of putting together the box at the end, I came across two things. The beautiful box in front of me and the good feeling that I accomplished this after time. :)

とても丁寧に教えてもらえてありがとうございます、フタのほうは、少し大きめな紙で作れば良いのでしょうか？

[@LordDeimosIV]

The last part was really hard! I had to try it about 5 times before i got the pieces to fit together properly. Now for the lid! Thank your for this awesome tutorial, love it ;)

[@Wereling02]

This is quite a dificult diagram but your video made it very clear what to do and was easy to understand. Thanks for the video! ^.^

[@mxmbabe]

Thanks for the tutorial. I managed to make this box but mine doesnt look quite so neat. Maybe i lack patience :) There was no way i could make this just by looking at diagrams. Thank goodness for youtube & members like you.

[@namvtpt1998]

I come from Vietnam, I greatly admire your talent

[@martyinchicago]

people dislike it just because they can't make it...? it's actually hella good, i like this video :) poor people...~

[@leidycruz1088]

I got a beautiful result. Thank you so much for your tutorial!

[@cfloutier]

Thanks. It's an excellent model

[@AngieARTmanga]

so detail and good

[@thewind7]

It really is a pretty box. I managed to make it but I used paper with two different thicknesses and it was difficult to join them in the end. It was great fun though :)

[@komentero]

FANTASTIC...VERY GOOD....THANKS FRIEND

[@userunknown10]

i made it and came out great :) i made it smaller though 10 cm instead of 15 i made it with regular printer paper on the lid i made the paper have tiny pictures of us together and for the base a picture of i love you in different fonts on 1 side. thanks for this

[@trombone0803l]

i love all of your work~!! thank you so much~!!!

[@lxcky21]

Wow, puting them together is hard. I'll have to practice that one... Whenever I try to push them into each other at the end the paper feels weak and bend instead of going in. I first tryed with washi paper, and then with an origami paper more solid, but it won't go... If you have any tips to share that would be awesome :) but anyway thank you a lot for that video, I've been looking for those instructions and it's all very clear.

[@TheZloSotonsko]

Thank You! Very good and detail!

[@kakashisfriend]

Thanks, was always wondering how to make this when I got an instruction booklet about it... in Japanese. BUT NOW I KNOW HOW!

[@saukraya3254]

That inside tab should be on the outside. Beautiful box as always.

[@PinkPaperRaven]

Thank you so much. I like it. It`s easy to understand.

[@dpkapmr1287]

it is terrific,confusing, yet very beautiful

[@milenymama]

Świetny pomysł. Podoba mi się

[@YasmeenHawary]

HOW DO YOU MEMORIZE THIS ?!

[@شهداليوبي-ل9م]

Thank you so much. I like it. It`s easy to understand

[@moongoddessdivine]

[@umacdonald]

Is it possible to half ass this? I guess I'll find out soon.

[@Jeanpaulgian]

Not so easy but really NICE box ^^. I just finish It, but with a trial paper xD.. Now i need to make it with a very nice one to my gf xD thanks for uploading this video =)

[@zulfamunawer5875]

sab achi tharafka kiya gud job

[@1998tuba2]

do we use the same size paper for the base and the lid?

[@mayaradomingues7676]

I loved the video helped me a lot!

[@annapejskova9290]

Do you think I could make these with cardboard or something thicker than your type of paper in bigger sizes? I was thinking about making these about 30 cm big, to put cakes in...

[@tronix2125]

Anna Pejšková sure Anything works besides tissue paper

[@zoeleeshuoyu]

you are an artist!:0

[@MaryGadsby]

Amazing and beautiful!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

lovely results!✌️👍🙏

[@dragon555kurosaki]

It is very fantastic.

[@unionfire]

Schattige doosjes X3 Waar koop je je papier? =D Ik wil ze proberen te maken. ^^ Ik heb de leafcard gemaakt met m'n kaftpapier XD Maar voor doosje is het denk ik te slap... I love your videos! =D

[@Clarence11111]

wow! that's a very nice box! good instructions and good job! A luck that I subscribed

[@isabellaloais4540]

i am 10 years old and i finished in 2 hours and i e swedish thanks for the help

[@MrMoustache144]

This is easy i love origami its my new hobby making something out of paper is like magic I wonder how origami was invented? Do you have a video for the top?

[@CthulhuIncarnate]

@MrBhotee, you can use any coloured paper that you feel comfortable with. You can even use newspaper to practice with first. Personally, I use scrapbook paper. You can get some very nice designs with it :) You can even go to the dollar store and stock up on some very nice paper for these types of projects. Hope that helps :D

[@SakoraItachi]

I was making it while watching the video, posed 1000times and then when I finished it it said make other 6 of these. 😨😵😱😒 I give up 😳😵 but it's very beautiful, really liked it

[@IgnisGlaci]

What is the proportion of the final diameter of the box was to the size of each sheet of paper? I really want to make one because I'm making an origami-themed birthday present for my bestie but I'm not sure how big to cut my paper. Please respond and thanks for the reply and the awesome video ;)

[@DukeCherokee66]

nice job! Moved slowly. No blasted distracting music! It is soothing to fold by the music you chose. Half the people that make these videos don't speak clearly or speak too fast or do not explain folds well so it was nice not to have to figure out what you just said!!

[@Perlasu25]

Excelente video magistralllll.

[@AMATISTA099]

it so difficult, but i'll try :)! i like ur videos

[@iamcherrypieXD]

you make it look so easy....

[@Chatixxxx]

Ben jij Nederlands? It's amazing, how they slot into place ;) I love all of your video's

[@Rencsikebabucika]

You are really good!

[@Puddycat042212]

The music sounds nice :-)

[@putriirrdina865]

i LIKE THIS BOX..:)

[@digne-sageroy3805]

I like this box

[@sweetgie34]

I like the music... So relaxing... Whats the title plz?

[@abdulrahimi851]

Tried your best well done

[@Dukecherokee1]

it would help a lot to show the creases better using the plain side instead of the patterned side; can you make it again using the plain side, please?

[@nela229]

la voy a hacer muy buena gracias por compartir

[@McK1K3]

omg... I'm dizzy just watching this video... when i grow up I'll can do the same .. lol who invented this or is a brilliant mind or is crazy lol gz and ty to share! :)

[@beckychen84]

If I used paper which is 15cm by 15cm each, how big will my box be in dimension?

[@thyagogarcia9503]

Guys it's easy if you just look at the directions and do it slow and easy it will turn out great

[@rayva1]

I'm sorry. Was that a total of six pieces you've put together?

[@argath26]

What do you called that paper intended for origami?

[@70maite]

Fantastico, pero dificil aun con el tutorial. Gracias.

[@nirmalmp99]

its amazing wot u can do wiv paper! :)

[@554drago]

@KathyLikesCandy You are soooooo right! I don't know any one who doesn't like advertisements!!!

[@MegaCoryza]

you should begin by la boite de tomoko fuse. there's only four papers for the bottom, and four for the top. it's a bit easier !

[@furry786furry]

OMG OMG OMG!!!! that is sooo cool

[@aileenpres100424]

i tried to make this and i followed every step of it but why the lid is smaller than the base??please help me...

[@evilbunnyish]

[@hoaptnk1215]

I'm a beginner and even I can make it. This is really easy guys, just pause the video a few time:)

[@rosselly888]

[@misschangy]

i cant do it barbabellaatje!! can u explain how to do the assembling part im really confused ! i could make them but can not assemble as when u assemble it there is a star shape but my turns into a big mess and will not tighten but it is loose !

[@co0lioGiirl]

[@Aleuze]

[@sunnimooni]

Uwah, thank you so much for the tutorial! ^-^

[@nainhanif]

nice. im gonna use this idea for my project, do you mind if do that?

[@iNoMeMire]

It's not until I made one of these that I really appreciated the work put into making this instruction video.... Thanks...so much better than a diagram, however imitating the dexterous finish is another thing :¬ p @789Dreamymimi789 yeah paperclip tip good but precise measuring and creasing also pays off. I made it with 3x2 of different colours and that also helps : ¬)

[@monkeyofthesea17]

good finished... now for the other 5 pieces *replay*

[@mustanggirl4ever]

where'd you get it?

[@cheersensey]

y que y la tapa que como se hace acaso es de la misma manera? y los colores como se los combino?

[@Purgatorialsleep]

Whoa nice!

[@sailorflakita23]

[@CherryBlossomMay26]

[@asibonge12]

[@1999luz]

[@MoziCocosi]

[@lilliannguyen6816]

I love the way you go so slow

[@sulpicie]

[@nitscc1]

I want to know the size of the box when it's finished..

[@RichardMikulskij]

[@25sergio17]

[@aylenorellana29]

[@hughes123ish]

[@Thetutorialguy66]

[@555aboud]

[@dhirudhamaka]

[@sanjayreporting]

[@DeerheartStudioArts]
