AN ORIGAMI BOX

Both sides of the square piece of paper are coloured.
I bought this paper in a shop that sells all kind of things from Japan.

                                                    Step 1:
                                                    This is the front of the paper. Turn the paper.

                                                    Step 2:
                                                    Make valley-folds over the 4 lines.
                                                    Unfold each fold after you made one.

                                                    Step 3:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the 2 lines.






                                                    Step 4:
                                                    Unfold the folds you made in step 3.




                                                  Step 5:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the 2 lines.
                                                    Unfold these folds too.



                                                    Step 6:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the diagonal line and press
                                                    the places that are indicated with a yellow dot against
                                                    each other.
                                                    Then, make a mountain-fold over the upper red line.


                                                    Step 7:
                                                    Repeat step 6 on the other 3 corners of the model.




                                                    Step 8:
                                                    Fold the triangular piece below, on the left, in half.
                                                    Now it has half the size of it's original shape.
                                                    Do the same with the other 3 triangular pieces.

                                                    Step 9:
                                                    Add glue to the triangular piece (see arrow) and glue
                                                    it to the place indicated with the yellow dot.
                                                    Do the same with the other 3 triangular pieces.



                                                    The box is ready :-)
