Illustration of how to fold a hexagonal paper box. Origami gift box with hexagonal star pattern.

A beautiful hexagonal paper box with a six-pointed star pattern on the lid. It can be used as a storage box, and when you need to give a gift, it can also take on the important task of a gift box! It is divided into two parts: the lid and the box body. Choose the paper of your favorite color and try it~

Prepare two pieces of paper.

Fold one of the sheets in half and cut it in half, and use it to fold the lid of the box.

Fold half of the paper in half three times, into eight equal parts, and cut off one part.

Fold an angle downward from the two equal parts so that the vertex of the angle corresponds to the first equal part.

Using the vertex of the folded corner as the base, fold the rest as shown.

Open the folded corners and fold diagonally from the bisecting line.

Fold the remaining six points into diagonal creases.

Fold the remaining part of the lower edge along the long side, and the width of the fold will be the thickness of the lid.

Fold the long edge to the lower edge of the diagonal crease.

Loop the paper and fold both sides toward the middle.

Overlap to form a hexagonal paper roll.

Put the paper roll upright and fold it along the diagonal crease.

The process of folding along the diagonal crease.

Press flat along the diagonal crease.

Side view.

Fold the six sides of the top of the box to the center.

Fold the six sides toward the center along the crease, and arrange the adjacent folds so that one side presses the other.

Take care of the creases.

Fold each folded corner along the center and vertex, stand the folded triangle up, separate it from the middle, and press it to both sides to complete one petal.

The lid is completed.

Take the complete piece of paper and start folding the box body. Fold it in half three times to get eight equal parts, then cut off one point.

Fold one corner down from the bisector, and align the vertex of the corner with the bisector. Using this corner vertex as the base point, fold the rest along the long side.

Open the folded corners and make diagonal creases in equal parts.

Fold the remaining part inward along the long side. The width of the fold will be the height of the small box.

Next step, wrap the edge of the paper with the diagonal crease on the inside and loop it.

Align and overlap both sides of the paper ring.

Put the paper ring up and fold the inside along the diagonal crease.

The box is folded.

Close the lid.

The hexagonal gift box is completed.

The boxes folded with colored paper look much better~
