Learn how to fold an origami tripyramid box designed by David Donahue. This cool origami box can also be used as a bead and also easily turned into a useful phone stand. This easy origami gift box or decoration looks exactly like the origami Fox Box which I posted a tutorial for years ago.

I discovered this box myself whilst playing around with the origami twist box, I discovered that David Donahue (and maybe others) have found it years before. Thanks to him for allowing me to make a tutorial of this box. The box is pretty simple, and locks into place but unlike the origami fox box which is made with 3 sheets, you can open the box easily afterwards.

I made some small ones using 3 x 3inch sheets (photos below the video) and they make great beads, they twist around in the breeze. One could be used as a pendant or as part of some earrings. The phone stand, is easy to convert to after folding the box. Makes a neat trick. Also the geometric shape of this box is called a dipyramid.
