- Step 1: Prepare your paper. Use a square sheet of origami paper. Choose a color or pattern that suits your project. Place the colored side facing up before you begin.
- Step 2: Create base creases. Start by folding the paper in half diagonally or horizontally (depending on the diagram) to create center creases, then unfold. Press firmly with your fingers to ensure sharp, crisp lines.
- Step 3: Follow the diagram. Refer to the dashed lines on the diagram (valley folds and mountain folds) to fold the corners and edges inward or backward. Take care to align the edges precisely.
- Step 4: Shape and finish. Adjust the final corners and edges, gently pulling out hidden folds to add volume or shape to your box. Give all the creases one final firm press to complete your project.
