Origami Hexagonal Gift Box Tutorial (Non Modular) - DIY - Paper Kawaii

Learn how to make a hexagonal origami box! This origami gift box is made from 1 sheet of paper. The origami hexagonal box is perfect as a gift box.
💚 Update 2019: I posted a new hexagonal origami gift box: • Origami Hexagonal Gift... - it's not the same model, but it could help a lot if you can't follow this one.
⚠️ This is a VERY old video now guys! Sorry it's not the best and hard to follow!! If you can't collapse the inside of the box or the lid, check out this video: • Hexagonal Origami Box ... and/or search for the diagram on pinterest 😊
DESIGNED BY: TOMOKO FUSE
You will need:
2 x A4 paper (21 x 29.7 cm / 8.2 x 11.6 inches)
paper clip
bull-dog clip or small paper clip
Ruler and knife or scissors.
I tried my best to show you how to squash down the inside of the box and then the outside of the lid, but as you can (or can't) see, its a bit of a fiddle!
Just keep trying, make sure the folds are pretty precise and eventually you can just push it down and it will fall into place.
I wouldn't say it is advanced, I find the modular boxes a lot harder, more complicated.

*NEW!* Hexagonal origami box tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqWWdWx3o9OZqq8 💗

[@sbpro0969]

!!

[@patdegraw3851]

Good video. I like that you pause occasionally so we can catch up

[@paperkawaii]

Yes :) Any rectangular paper, or even square paper will produce a different looking but similar box.

[@malenaortiz8541]

me encanta tu video!! eres la unica persona que hace paso por paso...y sin hacer ensamblados....eso es origami de verdad!!!!♡♥

[@nekoluffsrainbow2594]

The first time i did it perfectly Second not good Third n fourth yay its perfect Thanks for uploadin this video cuz i wanted to make boxes so i could put something in n give my friends n family but almost all the boxes r square or rectangle.

[@TheCrazyBlackCat]

I did it! I´m so proud :-) But it took me 3 days to get it right because I also could not really see how to close the bottom. Thank you very much for showing us how to make a non modular box like this, I just love it because it is so cute

[@paperkawaii]

A4 is 297 x 210 mm11.7 x 8.3 in You can use US Letter paper, or even square.. it will just be taller. Just make sure the paper you start out with is the same as the paper you use for the lid too :)

[@ericalee5795]

was needing this info! Thank you! :)

[@AlquimiAJaponesa]

muchas gracias por el tutorial!! me encantó y también gracias por el diagrama!!! son de mucha ayuda para mi para enseñar origami en mis talleres!!

[@Maringana]

Did it with simple white paper first, cause I had nothing else in that format at hand. But after figuring out, how that multi-fold for the inside of the box works, I did it! :D Thank you for that very nice hexabox!

[@dazamillone]

What a great design! You have to be patient with the base and lid squash but otherwise, really easy to do. Already made a couple with magazine paper, hope to get a kawaii paper to do more and more.

[@paperkawaii]

thankyou, please check out the second video which is linked in the description for a bit better view on the folding parts. :)

[@raamonvargas]

Me encanta,cuesta un poco el detalle de la terminación de la tapa,pero lo demás muy Técnico y Claro en su forma de explicar,Gracias !!! Totales !

[@yanderegamer-chan6468]

Hi, I love your origami videos. It is so creative. You are very talented in art, which makes me so jealous.

[@UmmmKay0016]

I agree

[@CindyL4261]

I know this is an older video and I have now followed you for a few years. I can usually follow your steps or just rewind and pause. Not sure what you mean about turning on annotations... if you mean directions using “closed captions,” that gives me a message they are not available. It is a beautiful box, you are now a talented, experienced Origami-on-KZbin teacher, and it might not be a bad idea to upload a new improved version. We have to be able to see what the steps are both in connecting the ends and then folding inside . I will follow the link you’ve included in the description and hope it helps me complete the steps. Thank you for all of your hard work showing us how to fold amazing boxes!

[@paperkawaii]

Yes youtube used to have annotations when this video was made, they don't exist now. I just uploaded a new hexagonal box video, so maybe you can check that out 😀

[@elsie5323]

Omg! Thanks for this AMAZING origami tutorial! It was really handy for me to fold a hexagonal box which could be used as a gift box and the hexagonal box design was AWESOME as well!! Thank you so much😃😊

[@aishak.6795]

You're very talented, Paper Kawaii! :D I love making them!

[@icanseeyou688]

best hex box non modular tutorial ever! im thinking of using just the base for cupcakes with baking paper

[@LoboNestor]

What a great tutorial! My gift box turned out just great :) Thank you very much for sharing this with all of us :D

[@notnina9766]

Loved how you decorated it!

[@paperkawaii]

Yes, I am planning to re-do all of my videos now that I have a better camera. This model is the most requested so, it will probably one of the first I do.

[@arnabkumarsanyal8847]

When will you , you wrote this 8 years ago

[@ProfesorSagal]

Por fin me quedo... gracias. Excelente trabajo.

[@ThePaulaThea]

Thanks! I did one for my father because of Father's Day :) He will love it!

[@ailuromancie]

It took me a few hours, but I made my first one :D Can't wait to make them for my friends!

[@Moon.child1-]

10 years ago-

[@tnderhrt23]

This is the cutest model. You make it look so easy...but ,alas, sometimes things are not always as they appear! I have mastered the box base itself, but the collapsing of the lid is a different story! I am determined, though! I will get this or die trying!!! Thank you for your video,,,

[@paperkawaii]

hi, you can use printer paper or more fancy thicker paper/thin card from craft shops. the paper size is A4 or letter paper :)

[@hollied7058]

It wasn't very clear on what you had to do when making the base and at the end of it folding them all over like linking them can you do a video on the base??, please 😝😝

[@paperkawaii]

The lid and the box are the same size.. The way to close it is to slightly squash the sides of the box inwards. If you want the lid to be bigger, start with a slightly smaller paper for the box.

[@yashneeganesar9831]

Finally I made 2 n trying to make another one.Thank u so much paper kawaii.It's such an amazing box😘😍

[@marysantos8155]

Eu fiz !! Ficou muito legal , eu amei :D

[@paperkawaii]

did you try watching the second video I made, linked to in the description?

[@user-xg7gp4pm9z]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. Very nice box, I made it!

[@paperkawaii]

It's A4 or letter paper, you can use any size paper, the squarer the paper, the taller the box.

[@paperkawaii]

Tucking the ends? at 5:42 I put the right side into the left side, there is a slot at the front that it goes into... the flap at the back just sits in front of the one on the left.... it is hard to explain. If you cannot get it in, it is not folded right, I have used 2 coloured paper to make it clearer, otherwise you could use glue to stick it, it would still work.

[@ericteo9595]

You make this so easy! Thank you.i am making one each for my parents.!! Please do not stop making them because you are very talented in origami.

[@paperkawaii]

hey could you check out the video that I have linked in the description, it has a bit better view, but as you have to push inside the box, it is almost impossible to show without my hands getting in the way! Sorry, I hope you can complete the model :) x

[@Brickelz]

Toughest origami I did so far. Took me about 3 hours to complete but I finally finished 😇

[@TuTRAN-fz7pn]

I just made it along with your tutorial. Quite tricky but interesting. Thank you!

[@raimundononatoalencar8069]

Lindo seu trabalho, parabéns...

[@honeycat535]

absolutely brilliant,thanks for making this great video x cant wait to make these for my choc truffles for friends

[@alecardegon]

No pude con la parte interna del hexagono, es decir hice todo tal cual el video pero no se como doblar el papel para hacer la base....

[@juangutierrez-kf9ef]

igual a mi en el sentro

[@roseuj]

Tried this and got it right the first time... funny though, the next trials I made just didn't come out well, so frustrating...lol!

[@springwishes9988]

I had my headphones on and I heard a squeaking noise and was like why is squeaking noises from the video? but then I realized that it was my pet bird lol

[@vanessavicente3933]

Loved the box. A little tricky with the squash but managed to make it. Thanks

[@haruharu3513]

The background music.ㅅㅡㅅ

[@domecekrpopanenky578]

Just did it. It´s soooo pretty! Thank you so much! :)

[@jayalakshmisankar4323]

I did it!! Thanks for this wonderful video.. it is amazing. it was difficult at the beginning for the squash fold but somehow I managed to do it. Finally I have done it..!!!!

[@SkaylerMay]

Hi! I made the whole box, its not so easy but its very beautifill

[@eliasabdul7114]

PaperKawaii, congratulations! I really enjoyed watching your tutorial. Great explanations and a cute editing of the video. I put in practice these techniques and had fun a lot at my free time at work. Now, I can't stop making origami boxes, it became an adiction.

[@paperkawaii]

Elias Abdul You're welcome! Thanks for your nice comment, I also had made about 50 of them.. :)

[@kawaiilover5062]

It is so beautiful.The boxes are lovely!

[@kierablancheagravante2371]

[@TXC-cw8sc]

[@amnatariq4837]

I could only see hands and hands. I got lost there too. Please help me out

[@amnatariq4837]

Are you alive tho it’s been 6 years

[@jellygoround]

Agh, that base is soooo tricky! I had beginner's luck and somehow nailed the squash fold the first time, but I've tried three more times since and haven't been able to succeed ;_;... I must try again... Thanks so much for making this video -- the boxes are adorable!

[@deekshithacherukuthota1570]

I really love the videos they are unlike others we can understand all the steps clearly , they tend to come out beautifully

[@eleevtria]

Thank you very much. I made the box in a larger size (45 x 35 cm). It is also very beautiful :)

[@azimech4989]

lol I get that a lot too when trying to teach Kazuo Haga's rose! the last part is a rotating fold which is pretty hard and very similar to this one, i spent 3 months figuring out by myself from the book I bought. i like this box! thank you.

[@christievids8006]

I need hrlp on doing the bottom thing at 6:00

[@rukia1335isaw3som3]

this is just beautiful! i love it~ :3

[@paperkawaii]

I don't know. It is about $1 a sheet for the card used at the start. The paper I used in the tutorial is origami paper.. there is a larger discussion about where to buy that paper at the bottom of the post I linked to at the end of the description at paperkawaii(.)com

[@Uno_al_viento]

Hermosa, muy bueno el video! Gracias desde Argentina.

[@origamidojorge5217]

Beautiful box hexagonal! 👏 👏 👏

[@SumthinMstBAvailable]

What a cute little box. Still can't get the bottom part down though.

[@rospala56]

Qué bonitas las cajas, me han encantado.

[@ther51]

I will have to watch a few times to get the hang of it lol ...thanks for this...

[@desleykakoulidisgallaway3382]

what you did is just amazing. You're a genius. I mean that!! to make that all fit so perfectly is awesome

[@raysiillus2361]

Preciosa, manualidad de verdad, fue todo una diversion hacerla, muchisimas gracias por subir el video, saludos que Dios te bendiga, ja neee...

[@Cyrilmc222004]

That is so clever!!!!!! Thank you for sharing it.

[@edwardtiou]

Awesome. God Bless you for sharing.

[@paperkawaii]

-_- actually, no. The lid and the box will be considered two different models. The model is by Tomoko Fuse, in her book "origami one piece'.

[@sookyoungshim8733]

No wait at last I did it! Wow i like this ♥️

[@MrsMehij]

that was so kawaii! ♡

[@noeliacoste7766]

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Paper Kawaii - Origami Tutorials why do you only thank people and don't address the people who have legitimate questions about the video

[@UmmmKay0016]

What kind of paper do you use and where can i get it???

[@atulsingal9475]

This is so cute! And I also love the stickers that you used for this tutorial! I've already made 3 of the hexagonal boxes :D I also really like the song that was used for most of this video though I don’t know what the name of it is... May you please tell me what the song is called?

[@paperkawaii]

Julie Tan Hi it is the instrumental of 'Maybe' from dream high 2 :3

[@miakodakanseah9006]

[@paperkawaii]

Hi, yes it would make a lovely gift box, I am not super great with roses, but I'll put it on the list :) I think you are the first person who has said I have shown it in an easy way...!

[@venusalkaline4668]

That's awesome! Thanks Chrissy! But I can't do the squash folds! :(

[@xuan6484]

I did it easily! Thanks!

[@kincsohuczek4497]

you are so lucky i spendt at least 1 hour on figuring out how to do the lid! i couldnt do it

[@sheryllovestobake9898]

Kincso Huczek me too.

[@anjalinanduri1225]

i think if u explain easy people can understand because when u are folding it is difficult to get what is exact.i like your things which are prepared.If u explain easier i people can understand and i will do all the projects by seeing your website if u do easier

[@mcRenan1010]

uau show nota 10!!!! muito bacana

[@sofiavasquez295]

But thank you paper kawaii for showing us how to make this kind of origami 😁
