Origami Star Box

This one is in honor of my mom, who gave me the idea of putting origami on my website. This one isn't easy. It takes a skilled hand and a lot of determination. Have fun!
You will need:

  • a square piece of paper (preferably origami paper) 
What to do:

  1. Side that will be the outside of the box facing up, fold the top corner to the bottom, crease and unfold, then do side corner to side. Crease and unfold.
  2. Flip it over. Fold it in half, crease and unfold, then fold it the other way. Crease and unfold.
  3. using the creases you made, bring top corners down while the sides go in. 
  4. rotate so open end is at the top. 

5.  Fold the uppermost outer flaps in to meet the center line.
 

6. Repeat Step 5 on the back side
 

7.  Fold each flap up toward the outer edge of the model and crease well.
 

8. This part is somewhat difficult. Open up the flaps and flatten.

9.  Repeat Steps 7 & 8 on the back side.
 

10. This is also hard. Tuck the top flaps behind themselves. Crease well.
 

11. Repeat Step 10 on the back side, so the model now looks like this.
 

12.  Fold bottom of model upwards. Crease very well then unfold.
 

13.  Push in the base of the model, along the creases you just made. This will form the base of the box.
 

14. Fold each point of the star downwards.
 

FINISHED STAR BOX!
