Fun Fact...You can connect two antiprism Boxes. Build the first box in the clockwise direction.Then build the other box in the counter clockwise direction and before closing the second box take the flaps and insert them into the slots of the first box and twist in... Neat!

[@Happyfolding]

Yes, neat!

[@diaxzy]

Super clear instructions. Lovely and easy. Thanks!

OMG I tried it and loved the second time I did it. First time my crease across the twist didn’t go far enough. It so on the second one. I am going to use them for earrings that I make and sell. Thank you for another great tutorial.

Thank you ever so much! Incredibly cute box and beautiful explanation (as always). I made one and now I want to make many more!

[@Happyfolding]

Congrats! I'm glad you enjoyed the fold.

[@melilotta]

Made the two variations with caleidoscopic paper, starting patterned or plain side up. The resulting boxes are very different, but both look stunning.

I made some of these boxes out of construction cardboard to hold treats for my parrots. The different planes of the box have bemused my parrots as the corners are not usual.

[@thebrittasport]

It's very nice. What exactly is an antiprism? Sehr schön. Was genau ist ein Antiprima?

You can read more about it here: origamiusa.org/thefold/article/diagrams-twist-antiprism-box or on Wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiprism but beware, the descriptions are quite mathematical.

[@thebrittasport]

@@Happyfolding Thanks, Math was my only good subject, that's why I love Origami so much❤

[@maggiemcdowell4240]

Could you show how to make this antiprism box with 5 points that way it could be a pentagonal antiprism box

[@Happyfolding]

Feel free to experiment. I'd love to hear back about your progress!

[@maggiemcdowell4240]
