This is how to make an elegant paper dressing / makeup table out of
four
Origami models: The table itself, the drawer, the stool and the
mirror.
The table paper is half a square paper (or two squares added together)
and
twice the size of the stool and drawer paper. See photo below.
Step 1: Prefold
the large table paper in half. Then fold both edges to this
prefolded centerline.

Langeveld)
Step 6: Turn
the model.
Step 5: Press
flat, see purple arrows.
Step 2: This
is the other side.
Prefold over the two diagonal lines first. Then use these prefolded
lines to place the folds over the two longer lines.
Step 4: Prefold
the two outer edges to the centerline. Then fold the four short
inner edges to these two prefolded lines.
Step 3: Press
flat, see purple arrows.
Step 10: Fold
the edge to the centerline two more times.
Then unfold the folds of step 9 and 10.
And repeat both steps on the left part of the model.
Step 8: Make
an outside reverse fold on the two ends.
Make the same folds as in this photo on the other side
(=mountain-folds).
And repeat this step on the left part of the model.
Step 9: Prefold
in half, then fold the edge to this prefolded centerline, see arrow
Step 7: Fold
the two inner edges to the prefolded lines of step 4
Step 16: Glue
these two edges together.
Step 15: Fold
over the yellow line, make the same fold on the other side.
Repeat steps 12 to 15 on the other side of the model.
Step 12: Fold
over these four prefolded lines, use the next photo as help.
Step 11: Fold
over these three lines.
Step 14: Fold
the long upper edge over the edge indicated by the arrow. Glue them
together afterwards.
Step 13: I
flipped the model 180 degrees here, this is the right part of the
model in the previous step.
First, fold the edge indicated by the purple arrow downwards, then
fold the edge on the left downwards.
Step 21: This
paper for the drawer is half the size of the paper for the table,
see photo of step 1
Prefold in half, then fold both halfs in three parts of the same
size
Step 19: Bend
/ fold the upper part of the table leg outwards a little and the
lower part inwards, see purple arrows.
(This step isn't really necessary, but gives the table more
elegance).
Step 20: Ready.....
Step 18: Fold
both edges inwards a little.
Step 17: Fold
the table legs in half
Step 22: Fold
both parts in half. Unfold the model afterwards.
Step 28: Glue
the edges of the corners together.
And fold over the two yellow lines.
Step 25: Fold
both corners to the center of these prefolded squares, see arrows.
Step 26: Fold
over these two prefolded lines.
Step 24: Fold
in half and unfold the model afterwards.
Step 23: Fold
in three parts of the same size.
Step 29: And
the drawer is also ready....
Step 27: Fold
the four corners inwards and the edges straight upwards
Step 30: The
stool paper has the same size as the drawer paper.
Repeat steps 1 to 8 on this paper.
Prefold in half, then prefold both halfs in three parts of the same
length.
Step 31: Prefold
over these two lines.
Step 32: Fold
the (prefolded) mountain-fold lines towards each other and the legs
into a straight angle with the seat, see next photo.
Step 33: Fold
the two upper edges over the four lower edges. Glue them together
afterwards.
Step 35: Fold
the four stool legs in half.
Step 34: Make
the same two folds on the other legs, see purple arrows.
Step 36: And
the stool is ready too.
Step 38: Fold
the four corners backwards and your mirror is also ready.
Step 37: I
folded a white rectangle paper around a silver colored paper for the
mirror. You can take what ever paper size you like for the mirror.
