Learn how to make an origami box with bow design on the lid.
The bottom of the box has flaps on each side, making it look as if the bow continues underneath.
This box was inspired by a box by Kamikey Origami, check out her youtube channel, she posts lots of super cute origami tutorials.
The bow part of the box is based on the technique by Hyekyung Lee you can watch the original bow tutorial here.
