Origami Diamond Box Video Tutorial

Learn how to make a pretty origami diamond box, that also looks like a kite! ♦

You could attach a ribbon and hang it on the Christmas tree as a decoration or use to give a special present.

Level: ★★★☆☆ DESIGNED BY TOMOKO FUSE

You will need:

2 sheets of rectangular paper, one for the base, one for the lid.

I’m using A5 paper (14.8 x 21cm)

Cut 0.5cm off the top and one side of one sheet for a good fit, depending on how thick your paper is.

Or just leave it for a very snug fit!

In the photos I have used music score paper, kind of tricky as it’s hard to see the folds but worth it ♥︎

Thanks for your “Origami Diamond Box Video Tutorial”. Very cute and nice.

Is there a way of making the base box deeper so that there is some space for our hand to hold when we want to remove the lid. If the base box and the lid are of the same depth, then it is quite difficult to open and close the box.

I also like your “Long Gem Gift Box Tutorial”. For this, the base box is about twice the depth of the lid which is so much easier for the hand to open and close the box. Thank you.

Thanks for your comment! Yes you can make a taller box, start with larger paper than what you used for the lid.. and follow the method on this video: 🙂 I think that’s why I included the lower box. Sticking the lower box to the inner box helps.. 🙂
