This tutorial will show you how to make a cool origami drawer box. This origami ‘Tetra Box’ uses no cutting or glue, just paper. This origami drawer box is easy to make. You can use as a gift box or keep your special items inside.
Thanks to everyone who helped my come up with a name for this box of drawers. There were so many to choose from. It’s official name is Origami Tetra Box, but I went with Origami Secret Drawer Box for YouTube as it needed a more descriptive name so that people can find it.
These modular origami drawers are super easy to make. You just need to make 4 sets of box drawers and two pieces for the top and bottom.
⚠️ By the way, there is one mistake in the video: at 5:58 – I said divide your paper by 7.5 etc.. yes that’s ok but don’t bother with this measurement, all you need to do is just fold up a bit. Depending on your paper’s thickness, just make it more or less.
