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]

!!

[@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! :)

[@paperkawaii]

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

[@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 😀

[@patdegraw3851]

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

[@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.

[@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]

Its a4 or letter paper, with 2 colours. You can use any colour, 2 colours is better for tutorials... :)

[@PaZaDrawing]

Nice, but very complicated . reminds me of mathematics O_o

[@MrsMehij]

true !

[@itsme-zn2ui]

+Zara you are right

[@malenaortiz8541]

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

[@paperkawaii]

The boxes at the beginning? They are a random assortment of thicker paper, some card.. the craft store is shutting down ;_; It was on sale... If you go to any larger craft store, they have big plastic shelves with lots of colours, at like $1 each... bit pricey maybe.. x

[@gbklepto1]

This is the single hardest origami i have ever done!

[@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]

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

[@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.

[@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]

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

[@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!

[@paperkawaii]

Yeah there is a flap, if it is annoying, maybe glue it.. otherwise, it should be folded as if it was not there...

[@LoboNestor]

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

[@yanderegamer-chan6468]

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

[@KeveryKat]

I agree

[@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.

[@lisakatame2369]

sorry I was a little goofy with the first answer, the box is really nice. the second video is helping to fold the bottom. Thank you very match.

[@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 😝😝

[@elinnayef4419]

That is very complicated😤 JUST KIDDING!!!!!! Its wonderful🥰😍😘

[@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 !

[@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'.

[@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...!

[@christievids8006]

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

[@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!!

[@freesian59]

I am Japanese & thought you maybe also Japanese when I saw the word "kawaii"! Well I loved your pretty box but it was bit too advance for me. I could not see the most crucial part as your fingers & hand were covering it. Maybe you can to another video using much bigger paper & do show what you are doing slowly? I am bit too old for those KAWAII stickers but LOVE the shape of the box, so I'll be using the real pretty Origami "Chiyogami" like a pattern for kimono the next time I try making it! How long have you been doing Origami? I learned it when I was 4 or 5 & that was pretty much last time I did it, so I only remember a few simple ones like the crane, hats, square box, wallet.... but now I love to learn more to be able to create more beautiful stuff, so I can give them to the patients @ the hospital. I'd like to cheer them up with Japanese Origami Art!

[@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😃😊

[@icanseeyou688]

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

[@ThePaulaThea]

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

[@Brickelz]

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

[@ryu6083]

Thanks for this video I like origami boxes

[@SkaylerMay]

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

[@paperkawaii]

I wouldn't.. maybe the cover if it is thick enough.

[@SyedaAfshansamreen]

who people ? the video is very nice

[@huisi9snsd]

The screen is so big, but your hands were only on the left quadrant of the view. There is so much empty space at the right and many parts u were folding the origami out of the camera view. I really wanna learn :(

[@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!

[@safataqvi7569]

This looks super , cute and easy

[@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-

[@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

[@deekshithacherukuthota1570]

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

[@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

[@SuperMonstrengo]

Excuse me, I know your question wasn't for me but I would say GO FOR IT. I give a lotus flower as birthday gift and guess what? SHE LOVE IT.

[@SumthinMstBAvailable]

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

[@kierablancheagravante2371]

ive make it 4 years ago and again and again making it thank you for everything its not so hard.

[@yashneeganesar9831]

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

[@glitterysnowcone]

Very good video! :) I have a lot of trouble with the base even after watching your other tutorials! :(

[@paperkawaii]

I am considering to remake this video, I hope you can subscribe, I may do this in the next couple of weeks. :)

[@anaikonomovska3519]

After minutes of persuading those squash folds finally decided to give in. I got rather sad box, with crushed spirit. :) Great tutorial though, I quite liked it. :)

[@gumballwaterson5136]

so beautiful and verry simple

[@edwardtiou]

Awesome. God Bless you for sharing.

[@Thorn99855]

Wonderful tutorial. I got it done. This was mostly not so bad to follow except the squash fold on the base. I skipped over to the base video and it was... mostly good. You may want to include using the underside of the bottom of the box as a reference as it is much easier to line up the folds when you are squashing them when you are looking under the box rather than inside of it. But yeah. Amazing Box! Going to churn out a bunch of these and fill them with goodies to raise money for a school trip to Ecuador. I think my speed will greatly improve once I have a few of them under my belt. Hopefully I can churn out 3 per hour.

[@paperkawaii]

I am happy you managed to fold the box, I am still surprised that people can follow along, this tutorial is soo old, I have improved a lot since this was made :)

[@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!

[@vanessavicente3933]

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

[@Fluflze]

I hate squash folds, but I managed to do it magically ^_^

[@Trinhytrinhh]

thank you for making the video for folding. thank u so much because I couldn't fold the papers down for the bottom part. thank u so much 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@TuTRAN-fz7pn]

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

[@kincsohuczek4497]

Hi ! I really like origami but i don't get how cuold you do the lid???? It's so hard! You must be a genious to do it. So can please somebody tell me how can i make an easy lid?

[@aishak.6795]

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

[@haruharu3513]

The background music.ㅅㅡㅅ

[@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.

[@augasoft]

OMG 17 minutes for a paper box, even with highly professionalized fingers?

[@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

[@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.

[@mirzasyazni]

just made it.. its very enjoyable once its done.. very complicated especially on squash folds.. thanks..

[@NghiaNguyen-ek7gw]

very good

[@paperkawaii]

I Am Planning To. Please Check Out The Other Video I Made I Have Linked To It In the Description.

[@paperkawaii]

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

[@lynaelisa1438]

I've tried it and it's work..very creative paperkawai

[@johnfidge2157]

If your having real difficulty with the push thing I found it easier to turn it upside down and pushing the paper into place while checking the folds line up on the bottom.

[@huisi9snsd]

12:55 you were holding the paper away form the camera, I can't see a single step you're doing. And then later on your hand came back to camera and then it turns into magic

[@origamidojorge5217]

Beautiful box hexagonal! 👏 👏 👏

[@joycekatrinasobereyulopez]

@paperkawii... i love your tutorial.. its awesome... like really awesome i will give you a 5 star and you are my first subscriber on youtube... hehe♡♡♡ continue posting awesome origami stuff... i will be watching more video's of yours.....♡♡♡

[@paperkawaii]

Joyce Katrina Lopez Thanks! :) ♥

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

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

[@KeveryKat]

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

[@paperkawaii]

woooo!

[@nurinanur9468]

The colour paper and box is most beautiful

[@MYNGUYEN-jn6bz]

Thank for your sharing. The gift box you make is so beutiful. I really like it

[@ther51]

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

[@lilliannguyen6816]

Pretty,but for the top can you leave the flower shape instead of making it into a hexagon?

[@Drachenbauer]

I think it´s no need to cut of one section. You can put the one end two sections deep into the other. i think, this makes the box stronger Or use three parts, each one four sections and put each one two sections deep into another one. this makes a box with all six sides the same count of layers, and you can create designs.with three colors.

[@paperkawaii]

yes you could do that! thanks ☺

[@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

[@catherinelomas7387]

How do you fold the squash folds for the base???

[@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

[@missycat7467]

What an amazing looking gift box

[@FosterTalesOriginal]

If I ever figure this out then I'm def running for president!

[@DrawSoEasy]

I love this video very much!

[@domecekrpopanenky578]

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

[@angelicangel6650]

you are the best i am going to try this right away !!!

[@amycullens5065]

when you connect the ends, is there supposed to be a flap sticking out inside the hexagon?? An answer would be gladly appreciated!!

[@esrasiler8415]

Thanks for tutorial :) I just want to make a wish, if you don't turn paper over and over that would be great. More than 1/3 of my time is passed while trying to understand which side of paper you are working.

[@ximenaperezburgos6710]

i love the rilakkuma stikers!!!!!!!

[@paperkawaii]

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

[@beanecesito4645]

It's Hard when you will make the top part... its hard to fold and I'm confused when folding while watching the video so I keep replaying and again and again but I can't do it right... help meh

[@paperkawaii]

Bea Necesito sorry.. this is an old video, did you try watching the video linked in the description?

[@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..!!!!
