How to make an origami gift box for yourself? Just! For the most simple box with a lid, you need only 2 square sheets of paper (for example: 21x21 and 20.5x20.5 cm). For such as with us, using Scotch tape, glue several different colored scraps of paper between each other and give the sheet the shape of a square. The sheet for the lid and for the box should differ in size by 0.5 - 1 cm.
