Classic origami is thin and lightweight, and you can find it at most craft supply stores. Using regular printer paper will be tough, since it’s harder to fold and doesn’t keep its shape as well.

It may help to work near a flat surface, like a table or countertop, so you can rest the paper on something while you work.

This will make a cute, tiny triangle out of your paper.

This fold will make an even cuter and tinier triangle.

Make sure you’re only working with the top 2 layers of paper, and you’re leaving the bottom 2 layers of paper alone.

This will make an abstract shape with a square on top and a triangle on the bottom.

Be sure you’re creasing the paper really well with your fingers on each fold you make. This will ensure that your box stays intact when you open it up. The square that you end up with is also called a “square base. ”

Make sure your paper looks symmetrical at this point so you know you’re folding each side evenly.

The left flap should have a small triangle at the bottom and then be open at the top.

Both flaps should be folded the same way, so your paper should be symmetrical at this point. If it isn’t, go back 1 step and try again.

Your origami paper won’t be square anymore, but it won’t quite be triangular, either.

Your paper still won’t look like a square, but it will be closer to its original shape than what it just was.

At this point, you’re starting to make the base of the box.

The top portion of the paper will eventually turn into the flat base of the box.

You’re almost there! You only have a few more steps until you can unfold your box.

At this point, you might be able to see the box shape come into formation.

To make sure the bottom of the box is completely flat, press it down on the table and run your fingers over the bottom to smooth it out.

You can find acrylic paint at most craft stores. Try pairing red and pink, green and yellow, or blue and purple.

Use silver rhinestones for a diamond look, or go with brightly colored ones for an eye-catching design.

Try picking out your favorite color of glitter glue to personalize the box even more. If you don’t have glitter glue, use liquid school glue to make a design on the box, then sprinkle loose glitter on top of it. Be careful with this method, as it can get a little messy.

Try making a few star boxes in different colors to decorate your room and organize your area.
