Ugh! I hated making it until I got the hang of it. It's really tough in a couple of places.

Haha yeah, I figured. I just can't find the time to just sit down and do origami anymore

I take paper where ever I go so I can fold whenever I have a spare minute. Sometimes, when I'm waiting for a bus home, though, my fingers get a little stiff! ^_^
Thankfully, I still have lots of time to fold because I go to school!

Heh that's cool

I drive everywhere nowadays, and have a fulltime job at subway, so I can't really take paper with me D: I used to fold a lot when I was at school too, make the most of your time

Aw, too bad.

Maybe you should win the lotto and retire so you can fold.

I couldn't understand step 7, but I'll look into that video when I have some extra time. I love the tutorial though! Thank you!

Loucife In reply to Craftn00b [2010-07-23 22:19:59 +0000 UTC]

Not a problem! Yeah, step 7 is a little tricky. It's much easier teaching face to face xD;;

I cannot figure out step 8! Everything else went SUPER great! Then you lost me on the backwards part!

Loucife In reply to BlackYinWolf1234 [2009-07-19 03:21:30 +0000 UTC]

Basically, the crease you folded before will be already folded in one direction, you just fold it in the other direction.. If that makes any sense o_O It's so much easier to teach origami via person to person rather than with just a written tutorial

Hey this is awesome, I just bought a bunch of gifts for 4 of my closest cousins and 2 sisters and I didn't know how I would give it to them so I thought of a box and decided to make one since I've got so many perfectly square scrapbook paper. Thanks, step 8 was a bit weird but I got it all.

Loucife In reply to draconicdreamer [2008-09-14 07:41:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you You don't necessarily need pretty paper, you can always use newspaper, old catalogues just about anything that's foldable I think that recycling stuff like that gives the box more character

draconicdreamer In reply to Loucife [2008-09-14 08:28:09 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome Mm, I might try making some with old wrapping paper; it's certainly more interesting than printer paper.

Thanks for this! I've come across a box with two of your "boxes" as the box and lid, but your lid is much cooler. My lid turned out to be a little off-centre, though, 'cause it didn't fit at first. Need more practice.

You're very welcome ^__^ I'm glad that it helps Also, good to hear that your spiral turned out ok ^^

Zephyr-song [2007-12-24 11:57:54 +0000 UTC]

Awesome tutorial, but I cannot make the spiral for the life of me >.<
I found making the box really easy, but I'm just stumped on the lid, even after watching the video.

I guess I'll have to just have a ton of lidless boxes lol

Loucife In reply to Zephyr-song [2007-12-25 01:37:05 +0000 UTC]

xP Well what are you having trouble with exactly? I might be able to help ^__^ And you could always make two boxes, one slightly bigger so you can use it as the lid.
