Considered the most famous living origami master, Tomoko Fuse is known for her expertise in box-folding and other origami paper craft styles.

Handmade paper boxes are an expression of origami crafts at their very best. Experiment with different thicknesses, textures, and paper designs for a truly one-of-a-kind presentation.

Step-by-step instructions and diagrams guide you from start to finish as you create:

  • Boxes with multifaceted tops
  • Box tops with spiralled flourishes
  • And so much more.

Origami box folding is a relaxing and satisfying craft for all levels of expertise andโ€”with a little practice and this easy origami bookโ€”gift-giving will never be the same.
