Learn how to make an origami pencil box with a hinged lid with this easy to follow step by step video tutorial. Use for pens or as a gift box.
If you use thicker paper or thin to medium card for this, the box ends up pretty sturdy, although not suitable for carrying around in a school bag really! This box would be a great gift for stationary fanatics and also as a gift box for jewellery, sun glasses and other long items.
