Origami expert Mark Bolitho explains how to make perfectly formed origami objects that are as pleasing to fold as they are to admire afterward. Digital downtime is becoming a constant quest in our fast-paced lives, and the idea of contemplative, soothing arts and crafts is undergoing a serious revival.

Across this 32-page guide, you'll find mindful projects to busy yourself, as well as plenty of high-quality origami paper. Origami Paper Boxes presents you with a variety of decorative, surprisingly sturdy containers to fold. The difficulty of projects ranges from being beginner-friendly to downright challenging for the initiated.

You'll find directions on how to craft:

  • Basic Boxes: Ranging from a simple square box to a hexagonal vessel, all formed from a single piece of paper.
  • Boxes for Storage and Display: These are boxes on legs, with compartments, flaps, or slanted walls, perfect for the desk or office.
  • Gift Boxes: Ranging from a gathered box to a square box with a rosette lid, or a conch shell box.
  • Inventive and Intriguing Boxes: From a heart-shaped folded pouch to a hexagonal box with a twisted, folding lid, and more!
