I have been fussing around with this origami box for ages, finally made the tutorial and also a diagram this time, hope you like it!
This model is my own design, after seeing a kind-of gem shaped box here on youtube, I was determined to make one, it is really just a masu box, with a chunk missing.
The hinge feature needs glue, but looks awesome and works really well!

▸ 2 square pieces of paper. Use any thickness you like!
I am using: 21 x 21 cm + 15.75 x 15.75 cm
1 is 3/4 the size of the other.
Say your bigger paper is 21 cm wide, the sum you can use is:
21 ÷ 4 = 5.25
5.25 x 3 = 15.75
▸ Glue (for the hinge)

Hello :) I just rushed on my phone to get your app but... it's not available on google play ;-; That box is really neat, i consider using it to wrap my mother's day present (it's later in France x3)

[@paperkawaii]

Hi! The app isn't available yet, i'll put a video up about it when it's ready, sorry about that! 💕

[@paperkawaii]

+Abir Salha check out the diagram maybe? :)

[@zan3632]

+Paper Kawaii I did it! its zoo cool! Also, I used the templates from the given website, and this might be only a problem with my printer but the green one came out blue!

[@paperkawaii]

[@unnathivarma2043]

I am using this for my mothers days gift

[@monyreaksmeyly3458]

wow

[@MyMoustaches]

waw it was soooo hard because sometimes you hide what you're doing with your hands. i didnt know by what you started : i didnt wanted to start by the bottom haha... im really disapointed :/

[@creativenew6517]

nice 😍😍😍

[@ashleygrace8916]

Can you make a star box pls

[@guneegunbileg6323]

[@arlettajohnson6204]

Um, no not yet... I will go check it out. Maybe it will help me better. Thanks!

[@2kmob251]

What is the lid

[@kellyli867]

[@avanimaheshwari9211]

I can't make it but it very nice

[@carlosaparicio8839]

so confusing but i like it

[@okuakimaiko]

Will this be hard to do on a cardboard paper?

[@paperkawaii]

+Maiko Okuaki yes it would be pretty hard 🙂

[@okuakimaiko]

Paper Kawaii - Origami Tutorials thank you for replying 😊

[@arlettajohnson6204]

The part I kept messing up on was making the gem at the end.

[@paperkawaii]

+Arletta Johnson Sorry to hear that, did you check out the diagram that is like dot in the description? Or maybe try the printable version? wp.me/p1dsuj-1uZ :)

[@Drachenbauer]

On the site of Joost Langeveld i found a printable set of papers for origami gem-stones: www.joostlangeveldorigami.nl/patternmenuvarious.html (there is much other stuff on this page too) Theese are colorful papers with cristal-like structures all over the surface I thint they can be good for this box, because it looks like a gem.

[@paperkawaii]

Drachenbauer Yes that would look really cool! 👍

[@vennila9020]

you started folding paper 21 cm or 17.5 cm paper ?

[@paperkawaii]

the first is the box 21cm, the lid was from 15.7cm :)

[@vennila9020]

Paper Kawaii yes, but i printout the origami paper in papercrystal.com and the origami paper is 18x18 !!

[@paperkawaii]

Vennila CHANDRU If you use the 18cm paper for the box you will need the lid piece to be 13.5 x 13.5 cm.. The box in the photo is using the printable paper as the 15.75 cm lid.. hope that made sense! 😓

[@mokashfasaeed612]

i m gonna to make it

[@craftystreet6113]

Can I upload a photo of this in one of my photo videos I won't show a tutorial

[@paperkawaii]

+Crafty Street sure 🙂

[@venicekoo6679]

I keep messing up! It is soooo complicated and confusing.

[@namishaandsayfantoys6937]

Isn't that harder for me is easy pisy lemon squisy,😋🤗😏😎💎

[@ru7383]

너무 어려워요 첫번째는 성공했는데 두번째 따라하다가 그만 뒀어요 천천히 하시거나 약간의 설명을 하셨으면 좋겠어요

[@arlettajohnson6204]

I messed up and ended up throwing mine in the trash. I tried about 51 times and still didnt get it right. :c

[@fathimahadila9363]

Make square box

[@berknee]

._. My lid was smaller than the box what went wrong

[@paperkawaii]

+Bernadette Yeo It could be that your paper is too thick, you could chop off a couple cm from the paper for the box. :)

[@Drachenbauer]

Where i can download this Paper? instagram.com/p/3FpzWImk3q/

[@paperkawaii]

Drachenbauer This will be included in the next video to be uploaded later today! :)

[@juanitacruz5270]

So hard messed up so many times uhhhh but I'll keep trying 😅

[@paperkawaii]

Juanita Cruz Hope you get it, did you check out the free diagram? 😃

[@meyling]

I did it exactly the way u did it, same size, same fold but it turns out the lid is a giant and the base is an ant, and I replayed like a hundred time over and over again. It pissed me off!!! Ugh!

[@paperkawaii]

+mey linglim Sorry to hear that, a couple people have had this issue, make sure your paper is the right size to start with, you need one sheet thats 21 x 21 cm for the box and the paper for the lid is 15.75 x 15.75 cm There is a printable that might help here: www.paperkawaii.com/2015/05/27/free-printable-origami-crystal-box-tutorial/
