Oh my goodness - Karen I recognized your voice first and remembered how I always loved your segments when watching the Carol Duvall Show! I'm going to get these papers asap so I can make these gorgeous boxes! So glad you come up in my KZbin feed!!

[@suzannetaylor1556]

Great job making the books! The boxes can certainly be tricky - we have lots of other origami tutorials on our channel if you'd like to try folding something else! 😊

[@KateColors]

Thank you for this process. Bookmaking was my favorite craft from grade school; then, pottery. ❤

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Amazing! We're so glad you found our video 😊

[@Handmadebydeannamarie]

Hello, I just came across your video and I’m fairly new to paper folding, thank you for your tutorial! I love this little box. It took me a couple of try’s and rewinds! 😅But I got it!! Thank you so much for the tutorial! Hugs! Deanna

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marriannadougherty7408]

I watched this before but didn’t make any boxes. A friend made the boxes and had fun with it. I surely can do this. Thank you Karen for being a wonderful teacher. And the beauty of KZbin replays is that I can slow the playback speed and fold along. I’m already collecting your papers from Yasutomo and look forward to more of your wonderful designs.

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that you are feeling inspired to give it a try! We'll have new original origami papers coming out next year, too! 😊

[@EvelynVoorhees-Brown-l3x]

Love-Love-Love! Can't wait to make folded boxes and tiny books! Thank you, Karen 😘

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Have fun! 😊

[@EmilyFoxasinEmilytheFox]

This was fun to follow along with. I used scrapbook paper for the box and notebook paper for the book. Turned out cute!😊

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Love it! Yes, use what you have! 😊

[@nicoleschmitt2579]

Thank you, awesome. Will mame a bunch of them.

[@k-cera]

@@YasutomoArtOrigami Subsequently been makng them out of magazine pages. A lot of fun, but now what to do with them 🤔

[@meg5463]

Thank you so much!!!

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Very glad you enjoyed this! 😊

[@lorinarcampbell7778]

I've been making simple masu boxes for about a year now. I have an incentive to experiment with designs!

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Wonderful! 😊

[@meg5463]

May I ask where I can buy your papers? Beautiful art in themselves. Thank you for sharing your amazing works of art. So lovely.

[@dianezink3844]

Following!

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Thank you! You can find Yasutomo products at various art supplies retailers or check this project post with items listed and linked: shop.yasutomo.com/blogs/projects/folded-books-and-tato-boxes We hope this helps! 😊

[@maxinee1267]

what if you don't have a centimeter ruler?This video is awesome, I will be going back as soon as I make some jelly prints. woot woot I love the box's as well.

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Hi! The conversion is to take the centimeter number and divide it by 2.54 to get the inches. For example, to find out the conversion of 15 cm to inches, you do 15 / 2.54 = 5.9, or about 6 inches. You can also Google the conversion (which is what I do on the fly!) Hope this helps 😊

[@kathylong1900]

You could buy one, rulers are cheap enough.

[@cassiegreene9528]

LOvE Art Glitter glue too. Remind folks that they do need to use a good stainless steel pin in their glue applicators as cheap pins will rust. The one that comes with the 'kit' is great.

[@kathyburnside5038]

Where does one get that paper you used in this video?

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

You can check at your favorite local art supplies stores, or visit our blog post with links to the items used: shop.yasutomo.com/blogs/projects/folded-books-and-tato-boxes Hope this helps! 😊

[@SydneyWellman]

I'm confused as to what paper to use for the text block to be able to watercolor on the pages later. I tried Rice paper and Zinc paper, both too thin.

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Hi Sydney! If you want to watercolor in your tiny books, you can use medium-weight sulphite paper or very lightweight watercolor paper. We hope this helps!

[@bwin3401]

Love this! Less expensive than seeing a Psychiatrist. Better result. 😅

[@elinorangelo4982]

What is the beginning size of your paper.?

[@debhulks]

she said 15cm

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

For the origami boxes, we used: - Top: 4 square sheets of 15 cm (or 5 7/8") square origami paper - Bottom: 4 square sheets of 15 cm (or 5 7/8") square origami paper For the books, we used: - Inside pages: 3 sheets of 4.25" x 11" paper (standard 8.5" x 11" cut in half) - Cover: 1 sheet of 4.25" x 6" decorative paper - Belly band: 1 strip of 1.5" x 6" paper For a full list of items used and sizes, you can also visit our blog post on this project: shop.yasutomo.com/blogs/projects/folded-books-and-tato-boxes Hope this helps! 😊

[@VickiGiger]

Paper measurements for boxes??

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

The Tato boxes are made with 8 sheets of standard sized origami paper (5-7/8" square) but as long as you have 8, equal-sized square papers, you can use the same folding directions and it will work 😊 Hope this helps!

[@sherrylbradford2191]

Somehow my last gold to get the corner leaves a much bigger gable at the top even as I make the last fold. My paper is the right size and I have watched and rewatched. Going to take a break and see if I can figure out where I have gone wrong. Love the project!

[@j9hnck]

What size are these sheets of paper? (For those of us completely inexperienced)

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

For Karen's "tall" book, she used these dimensions of paper: - Inside pages: 3 sheets of 4.25" x 11" paper (standard 8.5" x 11" sheet cut in half) - Cover: 1 sheet of 4.25" x 6" decorative paper - Belly band: 1 strip of paper cut into 1.5" x 6" You might also find it helpful to visit our blog post covering this same project. If you scroll down below the video, we listed the sizes for the original square book tutorial as well as Karen's "tall" book tutorial. shop.yasutomo.com/blogs/projects/folded-books-and-tato-boxes We hope this helps! Happy creating! 😊

[@bcschubert]

I spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to make the tato box. I have "mastered" the folds but putting it all together has eluded me. It seems that I have too much "paper" when assembling the box - interior of box is puffed up paper and the bottom of the box is random flaps no matter where I push it. I'm thinking I may have missed a "fold" because my box sides are only 1 inch high. Any suggestions?

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Hi there! The interior of the box does end up a little puffy with this design. The random flaps might just need to be tucked in a certain way when assembling. This video uses a slightly different fold, but they do a nice job showing the assembly portion very clearly. If you watch their assembly and how they arrange the excess paper, it might help with the final assembly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZmTenuQZa92idU Hope this helps - good luck! 😊

[@bcschubert]

@@YasutomoArtOrigami THANK YOU ! Made my first box and lid with no problems! This video is VERY helpful.

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Hooray!!! Love to hear it!! 😊

[@barbibarnum]

What event is this from?

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

We used to run a biweekly Facebook Live with our Creative Consultant Karen Elaine. The schedule has changed due to Karen's availability but we'll be back at it next Friday, October 11, on a schedule of a new livestream every three weeks. We'll post about it on our Facebook and Instagram pages if you'd like to see when we announce it 😊 facebook.com/Yasutomoart instagram.com/yasutomo_art/

[@deelicious084]

I don’t know why my papers didn’t add up to yours on the second round of folding the boxes, around 14:55 😢 the first one seemed to work. 🫣 no idea what I’m mixing up. what is the author called of the books?

[@YasutomoArtOrigami]

Hi there! For the original design you can check out "Origami Boxes" by Tomoko Fuse 😊 a.co/d/0cY8OknF
