To make such a simple paper box, you don't need any glue or scissors. Just a piece of paper and your skill. The paper can be either thin or thick, square or rectangular. If you want to make a large box, take a large sheet of A3, A2 or A1. If the paper is too thin, fold it in half or even 4 times.
How to make a simple paper box using the origami technique:
1. A sheet of paper must be visually divided into 3 parts. It is desirable that all 3 parts are the same. Bend the paper as shown in the picture.
2. Bend the side parts in half, left and right. We obtain such a part as shown in Fig. 4. 5. Bend the corners. Please note that on one side the corner should be made of double paper, on the other side it should be made of single paper. You should get 8 bent corners. 4 on one side and 4 corners on the other side. The process is shown in detail in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
10. We straighten the resulting part symmetrically with respect to class=”aligncenter” width=”450″ height=”300″[/img] 12. We look into the resulting pocket and straighten it into a box shape. This is the most important stage in the work.
13. We make folds with our hands in all corners of the box to give rigidity to the structure.
14. This is what a finished simple origami box looks like. A4 box size: 10 cm x 10.5 cm.
Depending on the original paper size, the boxes may be larger or smaller. They can also be narrow or wide. The narrower and longer the sheet of paper, the narrower the box will be. Now you know how to make a paper box with your own hands in just 5 minutes.

How to make a gift box with your own hands.
Box house.
You need to print out the template below on beautiful paper. As a last resort, you can try to redraw it by hand. Then the workpiece must be cut and folded along all the dotted lines. In the bottom of the box you need to create two slits with a stationery knife into which you should insert the tape. All that remains is to glue the house, cut out two rectangles for the roof from matching paper, bend each of them 1 cm, and also make slits in each of them (see photo). Insert a ribbon into these slots, place the gift inside, and tie the ribbon on top in the form of a bow.

Round cardboard box.
You need to cut 4 circles from porous packaging cardboard, two of them should be slightly larger than the other two. From beer cardboard, cut two strips the size of the circles, with a margin for overlap, one wide, the other narrow. Glue together 2 large circles using double-sided tape or instant glue, then glue the remaining 2 circles separately. We will create the base of the box from smaller circles; to do this, we apply a transparent moment to the sides of the circle, glue a strip of cardboard here, for strength, you can stick another one on top of this strip. We do the same with the lid, glue a narrow cardboard strip around the perimeter of the large circle. You can create a bow from a ribbon; to do this, cut the ribbon in half, glue its ends to the inside of the lid, and tie the remaining ends on top in the form of a bow.
Cake made of felt and plastic container.
You need to purchase a round plastic container with a lid. We cut out strips of felt with a width and length comparable to the side of the container. Glue the felt using double-sided tape. Glue a round piece of felt fabric onto the lid. We glue openwork braid along the bottom and top of the “cake”. We glue flower-shaped ribbon to the top of the lid and create roses from cotton pads. See the photo below for how to make these. In the center of the cake you can glue two or three felt strawberries stuffed with padding polyester. All that remains is to put the gift inside and the present can be given to the recipient.
Box made using origami technique.
This box is quite simple to make, but looks very presentable. Especially if you take beautiful thick paper as a basis, for example from a scrapbooking kit. We described in detail how to make a gift box using this technique in this review.
A box in the shape of a flower bud.
We print out the template presented below on suitable paper (although, however, it can be redrawn by hand). We cut out the workpiece and create folds along the dotted lines using a ruler. We turn the workpiece over to the front side, and lightly tint it along the edges using a foam sponge and a stamping pad (you can just use ink). We put the gift inside and collect the “petals” on top (see photo).
