Origami Crystal

A tutorial of how to fold a tear-drop-shaped box. You can put candies in the box and so very useful for Christmas, Easter, and other occasions. This is the easier version of my old video “Origami Diamonds - No Glue -“ • 折るだけペーパーダイアモンド
Paper size:
00:13 Kisses: 5.5 cm x 11 cm
00:20 Ferrero Rocher: 9 cm x 18 cm
00:35 Potpourri: 15 cm x 30 cm

Please do not publish any video/written tutorial based on my videos without significant modifications / improvements in the folding sequences.

I would only do this for people that I knew would appreciate the value of the piece as a work of art! Perhaps creating the box as a Christmas ornament. ❤️

[@Mealzanator]

Marci S was thinking the same thing. Theyed look gorguess on my tree.

親友のクリスマスプレゼントのためにそのきれいなことを作ってみたい。 オーストラリアからありがとう😊

[@SweetPaper]

Thank you🥰!

[@sm3296]

I just wonder who the first person to do this is... and why? Imagine just sitting down with a piece of paper and coming up with this! Also it's beautiful to watch hands delicately creating.

[@SweetPaper]

Thank you 💖. There are Christmas decorations similar to this one. I wanted make something like those in easiest way with paper 🙂.

[@SuperBruno666]

I imagined the same, who and how was the first one created

[@ohifonlyx33]

I definitely sat here wondering how people discovered they could make these...

[@detectiveben1096]

Same hahaha

[@euomu]

And consider that this isn't at all an advanced design. Origami can get VERY complicated. You have to have the spatial awareness of a gifted engineer to be able to come up with some origami designs. Even something as simple as a crane, is difficult to come up with for almost everyone, but someone did it once upon a time

[@mondrache]

Thank you! I just tried it and was surprised how easy it was-even though I used copy paper for it! The only part that was a bit confusing was collapsing the "mountain fold" but at the end of the sequence I was still able to follow along. Great tutorial! I recommend watching at a slower speed for beginners like myself :)

[@SweetPaper]

Thank you 💕

[@adrey2149]

Good idea thanks I forgot you could do that

[@terencekusnierek7358]

Just stop and start the video after each fold -use pause! - easy peasy @ your own pace

[@robertmartin8762]

What wonderful ideas and skills presented by you. Hope to travel to various places when I retire in a few years. Currently am recovering from triple bypass surgery. This has been very slow indeed. Love your channel and the ideas. May you be blessed in all areas of your life. Irish Bob is a grateful fan😇🤗😎🍀🇨🇵

[@SweetPaper]

Thank you! I looked up about bypass surgery, since I didn't know. Take care and hope you will get better soon✨

[@pinky84ism]

well, the only group of people who will appreciate origami are young children nowadays. That's y i suddenly picked up this long dead interest of mine since childhood days. A simple kind of origami which they never come across is enough to make them pester me whole day to make for them.

[@zaharalips4709]

Me: goes out to buy origami paper, maybe it'll take 30 minutes for myself to make one. Unbelievably proud of myself. Gifts each of my friends with a chocolate inside. Friends: opens it, eats the chocolate, crunches the origami diamond box in one hand and makes a 3 pointer into the garbage can like they're Stephen Curry My heart: exactly like how the origami box felt in their hand when they scrunched it up This honestly takes real patience and great focus on lining up everything together. I applaud anyone with this hobby.

[@adrey2149]

Zahara Lips that is why you only give something like that to someone that you love and they love you. That way they know not to crumple your hard work.

[@MisaShowz]

. . . your friend sounds like they don't appreciate art

[@gravyz2cute4u]

Maybe you can save your hard work for someone who appreciates it. I learned the hard way also. I hand made my friend a Christmas card. Took me an hour to decorate it. She loved it but I later found out that she had ripped the angel embellishment off the front to keep and threw the rest out a few days after I gave it to her. I was mortified and couldn't understand why she would deface it and not bother to keep the rest of the card. I've never bothered to make her anything since lol

[@maranathaogooluwa9922]

[@rubylanderrl]

Many thanks for sharing... hugely helpful. Took me months to get any growth ......guess doesn't cut it up finely at the beginning!!!! But I will from now on. Again thank you. By the way I use sphagnum for my plants ( the ones the love humidity and my GALS ) 😁. Oh also I keep some of my growing moss on top of the Snails terrarium where it gets the heat and proper uv etc rays. Which are in short supply here in the wear coast of Scotland lol .

[@MazzaCheewanich]

Amazing! Perfect for Christmas! You use about 12 minutes to fold one, I just wonder how many minutes for me to fold the first one! 😆

[@SweetPaper]

I guess 20 minutes for the first one, and less than 10 mins for the second one🤔?

[@ohioladybug7390]

Okay, it’s been two months and it’s killing me! How long did it take??

Haha so me too now after trying to make them. I can do all the folding but simply cannot get them to close properly on a smaller scale.... which is what I want. Tried on a bigger scale and yes can do it but smaller - no way

For a dinner party or Xmas day you could put one on each plate with a personalized message inside. 😁

You are deeply welcome, and I went to your channel and subscribed, and I hope you will return the favur😁

[@sonipitts]

@@SweetTea-Stephens If you watch the opening segment again, they demonstrate how to insert the bows (basically just "trapping" the knotted string inside the crystal, or running it through the crystal and using a bead at the bottom to hold it in place).

Could you use any paper for such projects? Or are there minimums and maximums because of the thicknesses? I love your videos. A lot of people would say to create such a little thing is not much. But for me it feels like getting back in a past, when every little self made little art from would mean a lot. Thank you so much.

[@SweetPaper]

You can start and practice with ordinary origami or copy paper. While doing that, you will find the ideal thickness of the paper. I like little art, too. It doesn't overwhelm me and so makes me feel relaxed, like I did when I was a kid😋.

[@cieloquiambao311]

How come you make this great idea from your mind? The paper-diamond is amazing. I really appreciate this origami from my heart. 🙏
