bottom edge up to the halfway crease.
Flip the paper over so
that the coloured side is not showing.
Fold the bottom edge up to
the top crease, then unfold.
Your paper should now have five horizontal
creases. The spaces between each crease should also be uniform.
Fold the top corners down to the crease SECOND from the top.
Fold the bottom corners
up to the crease SECOND from the bottom.
Fold the bottom crease up to meet the crease second from the bottom.
Fold the paper back down along
the bottom crease.
Fold the bottom flap in half.
Pry open the corners of the bottom flap until it
turns from a trapezium into a rectangle.
Fold the bottom flap in half.
Press flat.
Repeat steps nine to twelve for the other side.
Lift the top and bottom flaps up
so that they stand
upright.
Swivel the flaps to form
other
box.
These form two sides of the “box
inside the box”.
Repeat steps nine to twelve for the other side. Make four vertical folds on either side of the small diagonal creases on the top and bottom flaps. Unfold. You’ll notice both flaps now have

vertical folds on either side of the small diagonal creases on the top and now have small squares on each side.
Once both sides are complete, your box should look something like this:
To close your box,
simply fold over the two large flaps on either
side; these will form the
lids for your box.
Keep your box shut by tying it with a
ribbon, using a sticker…
…or simply by sliding one lid
into the other.
You may have noticed three
vertical creases running down the entire length of your box.
To avoid these, in steps two, five and six, instead of folding
the paper all the way across,
simply make a tiny crease in the centre.
Success! Your
origami box in a box is now finished!
