Want to wrap a gift in an eco-friendly way? Then this origami-style seed paper box tutorial is for you.
Here’s what you’ll need
2 sheets of seed paper
1 pair of scissors or a paper cutter
1 pencil
Ribbons, bows, pine, twine, or other decorative pieces (optional)
Step 1: Measure and cut out an square piece of seed paper.
Step 2: Fold the square in half, turn the paper by 90 degrees and then fold in half the other way so the paper is divided into 4 squares.
Step 3: Now fold the paper diagonally, corner to corner. Open the paper, rotate, and repeat with the other corners of the square.
Step 4: Open the paper back up and now fold the tip of a corner into the middle of the square. Repeat this with the other three corners.
Step 5: Keep the corners folded into the centre. Now fold two opposite sides of the square into the middle of the square.
Step 6: Open the paper back up, keeping the corners from step 4 folded down. Repeat step 5 on the other two sides of the paper.
Step 7: Open the paper up in the same way as step 6. Now open two opposite sides of the square completely. Fold the sides of the two parts of the paper that you just opened up into the centre of the paper to create one side of the box.
Step 8: Repeat step 7 on the other side. And voila! You have a seed paper box!
Step 9: To create a lid for your box, cut out a larger square of paper that is by adding 3/4 inches of size to your orginal square and repeat steps 2-8.
