Simple but unique, an origami box represents the thoughts and feelings of its maker. Between the pleasure of paperfolding and the satisfaction of having a handmade item to use (or give!), the box forms a positive association for the maker (and between the giver and recipient). In this guide, origami master Tomoko Fuse presents 20 original designs for origami boxes — some simple, others more complex, all made from a single sheet of paper.

Beautiful, full-color photographs accompany step-by-step instructions and diagrams for a splendid variety of completely functional boxes. They range from conventional square and rectangular shapes to those in the form of a bird, a basket, a cat's head, a flower, and other shapes. By varying the type of paper and color combinations, folders can create an endless variety of effects.

Suitable for origami enthusiasts of all skill levels, this guide promises hours of creative joy. Reprint of the Nuinui edition.

My niece loved the one I gave her, which makes the handcrafted angle even better than buying s

Ruby N. ★★★★★

The instructions are clear and the box shapes come together with such clean lines that I keep finding excuses to fold another one. I gave a few as gifts and the person on the receiving end could tell it wasn't just store-bought, which made the whole thing feel more personal.
