There are so many ways you can make a cute little gift box but one of my absolute favourites are still these origami gift boxes. Knowing how to make an easy gift box in a couple of minutes can be a lifesaver when you're stuck in a pinch. Read on to see how all your last minute gift giving worries can be solved.
To make your origami box you are going to need 2 pieces of square paper, the second needs to be 1/2 inch smaller than the first. So if you are using a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper the second piece needs to be 11.5x11.5. The larger piece will form the lid of your box.


Start by placing your paper pattern side down and fold in half. Open your paper out, turn it 90 degrees and fold in half again.


Next fold your paper corner to corner to form a triangle. Open it out, turn 90 degrees and repeat.


You now need to fold each corner into the center of your paper square.
Take your square and fold the bottom edge to the center. Repeat for the other side. Your folded paper should now be a rectangle. Open it out, turn 90 degrees and repeat. It should now look like the picture 2nd down on the right.
