With these instructions you can learn how to make a useful tall origami box, which can be used as a lid as well.
I made this box to fit the Origami Crown Box (used as a lid) which is what is shown in the photo above.
If you were looking for other sized origami boxes, such as long or flat, check out the boxes category.
This box is based on the traditional origami masu box, the assembly is different as well as the way in which you get the first few folds.
It would be very easy to make a box with a specific width by using the item as a guide. In the video I am using the crown box lid as the guide, or you could use a ruler to get a specific measurement.
You could also change the last few folds to make the box a bit taller or shorter.
To get the maximum height, leave out the last few folds at 4:21 in the video, then use a bit of glue to keep the box together.

You will need:
1 sheet of square paper – I used 20 x 20 cm
Final size: will depend. Mine ended up being 5 x 5 x 6.5 cm.
Hi! What size of paper would you recommend fot a water bottle? I’m giving them away as gifts and would like to wrap them in this way ❤️ i’m so thankful i stumbled upon your videos on youtube! ☺️
I’m glad you like them! For the box, I’d need to know what dimensions are the bottle, by the looks of it, you’d need pretty large paper – maybe wrapping paper, the kind you can get folded up. Or brown packaging paper would be nice, you might have to just play around until you get one that works for your bottles 🙂
Or maybe it’s not that big – you can try A3 paper, cut to square or 30 x 30 cm 🙂
I just made tall origami crown box and i wanna make a lid (tall origami box) for it. can i still use the same sized square origami paper? Fast reply pls!
Yes you can use same size, 🙂 use the crown box as the guide, I would use the crown box as a lid but whatever you like! ?
hey! On the leftmost box of the first picture, how did you make the layered lid? Were the paper sizes for each layer the same? Great work btw.
Yes they were the same size, but somehow fitted. It is 3 origami crown boxes, tutorial: https://www.paperkawaii.com/2016/01/03/origami-crown-box-or-lid-instructions/ 🙂
