How to fold a heart-shaped gift box. Illustration of how to fold a heart-shaped gift box with a lid.

An origami tutorial for a beautiful heart-shaped box, designed by Robin Glynn, is divided into two parts: the lid and the body.

1. Select the paper ratio to be 8:11. Using ordinary A4 printing paper is already close to the size of this paper. If we are using square paper, some trimming of the paper will be required.

2. Cut the paper to appropriate proportions with the help of a ruler.

3. Then fold the upper and lower sides in half.

4. Cut the paper, and use one half to make the origami box body, and the other half to make the origami box lid.

5. Then fold the paper in half up and down.

6. After unfolding, you can see the crease in the middle. Fold the top edge toward the middle crease to form a crease.

7. Then fold the upper right corner toward the middle crease as shown in the picture.

8. Then fold the structure on the right side to the left.

9. Leave the upper crease. Fold the red dot on the right side toward the black line on the left side.

10. After folding is completed, it is as shown in the picture.

11. The front folds always leave creases. After folding the right side to the left, fold the red dot part to the lower right. At the same time push the upper part down.

12. At this time, the origami configuration as shown in the picture will be formed.

13. After being stretched and flattened, an origami structure similar to a small house will be formed.

14. Here is a continuous folding operation. First fold the part ① upward, and then pull the folded part ② to the right.

15. Then pull the upper structure down and fold it according to the creases and arrow directions.

16. Fold the shadow area inwards.

17. What is shown here is the structure after opening.

18. Then fold the paperThe upper structure of the model is folded downward.

19. Turn the turned down structure up from the back.

20. Form the origami model configuration as shown in the picture.

21. Fold the left side to the right. Note that the folding distance should be equal to the left and right sides.

22. Then fold the red dot in the lower left corner toward the middle Xu line.

23. After completing the folding, the origami model configuration is obtained as shown in the picture.

24. Then fold the left and right sides in half according to the point on the bottom edge where the folds in the previous step meet.

25. After unfolding, fold the left and right sides in equal distances.

26. At this time, make the creases. The position of the creases can be seen in the origami diagram.

27. Then fold the diagonal structure of the rectangle outlined by the crease formed by the previous fold.

28. After completion, the configuration as shown in the picture will be obtained.

29. Gather the left and right sides of the upper edge of the origami model inward.

30. When folded, a folded bulge will be formed in the middle. Press the raised structure down to flatten it.

31. Fold the left and right sloping sides of the origami quadrilateral structure formed in the middle after flattening and unfolding it inwards.

32. After completion, you will get the configuration as shown in the picture.

33. Return to step 31, and then pull up the middle structure, and the left and right sides will draw inward.

34. At this time, the origami model configuration style as shown in the picture is obtained.

35. After pressing and flattening it, the configuration as shown in the picture will be obtained.

36. Then bring the middle together and open the structure to the left and right sides.

37. Form a configuration as shown in the figure. Then fold it according to the creases in the origami diagram.

38. At this time, fold the open structure toward the middle.

39. At this point, an origami model configuration style as shown in the picture will be formed.

40. Flatten it.

41. At this time, gather the pre-folds that have been made on the left and right sides inwards.

42. When gathering, align the lower points together as shown by the arrows in the illustration.

43. After finishing one side, use pins to fix it. Fold the right side in the same way.

44. At this time, fold the two triangular structures in the middle of the origami box inward to fix it.

45. After the fixation is completed, an origami configuration style as shown in the picture will be formed.

46. Make a cross combination of the areas in the picture so that the top is fixed.

47. After flipping it over, you will get the structure of the bottom of the origami box.

48. The effect is already very good from the front.

49. Take another piece of paper, which is the half of the paper cut earlier. We need to complete the production of the origami heart box lid and fold it downwards, but the folding point of the top edge is two inches away from the bottom edge. mm.

50. If you don’t want to measure, just a little distance will do.

51. Then fold the top edge toward the middle crease.

52. After leaving the crease, fold the top corner on the right side according to the crease in the picture.

53. At this point, fold the right edge to the left.

54. The folded crease is as shown in the figure.

55. Then fold the diagonal edge formed on the upper right after folding in the previous step to the lower left. The crease is as shown in the picture.

56. At this time, a partial crease is formed by pressing. reduction.

57. Fold the right edge to the left, then follow the red arrow to fold the folded edge to the right. Fold down according to the white arrow.

58. At this time, the configuration as shown in the figure is formed.

59. After pressing and flattening, we gotA familiar origami model style.

60. Then complete the folding in the order of the numbers, that is, fold ① upward first, then the structure of ② will be brought up and folded smoothly.

61. After completing the folding in the previous step, such a three-dimensional configuration is formed.

62. Then flatten it.

63. Fold the red triangle area back.

64. You can see the style of folding upward.

65. After pressing and flattening, it is as shown in the picture.

66. Fold the upper edge back.

67. Then fold the left side to the right.

68. Then fold the left bottom corner diagonally upward. You can see where the crease and the bottom corner are.

69. Then fold the left edge of the origami model to the right. After opening the origami model, you can see the creases left by the previous folding.

70. Based on the previous crease, continue to fold the crease as shown in the picture.

71. Then continue folding the rectangular structure formed by the creases diagonally.

72. After completion, you will get the origami model configuration as shown in the picture.

73. Then fold the structures on the left and right sides of the origami model toward the middle.

74. Flatten the raised structure in the middle to both sides. Then fold the left and right hypotenuses of the middle diamond shape to the left and right sides according to the creases.

75. The origami model style obtained at this time is as shown in the figure.

76. Following the same folding method as the box, we fold the structure on the left side toward the middle. Then fold the structure on the right side to the left according to the crease.

77. Then fold the middle top corner back.

78. After completing the folding, it will form a lock like this.

79. The structure on the right folds back the small triangle in the picture.

80. Form such a configuration that is turned from bottom to back as shown in the picture.

81. After gathering the structure on the right side toward the middle, fold the left side of the irregular structure in the middle backward.

82. Continue to fold the middle configuration, and fold the top structure back as well.

83. Then gather the edges.

84. The production is completed here. At this time, the lid can just be buckled onto the box.
