This is a simplified illustration of the manual origami process of a hexagonal box. I hope you like it.
Materials and tools required for production: A4 paper, paper knife.
Step method: Step 1:
Fold the long edge of A4 paper in half.
Step 2:
Eight equal parts means folding in half 3 times... Cut off one-eighth (ー`′ー) The box body will be smaller than the lid. Cut a small section first and then divide it into eight equal parts. cut.
Step 3:
Using the bottom of the second crease as a point, fold the lower left corner up to fall on the first crease.
Step 4:
Fold the upper part of the product to the wrong side at the intersection of the right angle and the first crease.
Step 5:
Open Flip.
Step 6:
Fold a diagonal line for each rectangle, and the direction must be consistent. No matter which diagonal line you fold, it will work.
Step 7:
Fold the bottom twice. It doesn’t have to be divided into three equal parts. This part is the height of the box. Most of the box lids will be shorter than the box body. Of course, it doesn’t matter if they are the same length.
Step 8:
Fold up Note: All diagonal creases are valleys, as opposed to vertical creases.
Step 9:
Connected end to end.
Step 10:
Here comes the tangled place. This is the overlap.
Step 11:
Fold in one direction according to the crease, starting from the overlapping point. It is impossible to press down all at once at the beginning, so take your time.
Step 12:
Then fold it and slowly press it down. Don’t break the end-to-end connection.
Step 13:
Pay attention to the last place and smooth the crease, otherwise the front won't be able to be screwed through.
Step 14:
Its a bit exaggerated to say that twisting is a bit exaggerated. There will be no miracles with strong force. Just follow the crease.
Step 15:
After everything is straightened out, this is what it looks like. The overlapping areas are well hidden.
Step 16:
Press in.
Step 17:
Get it done and smooth it out.
Step 18:
The diagonals of these two folds are different and their appearance is slightly different.
Step 19:
If it really doesn't work, there is another way, as shown in the picture.
Step 20:
Fold along the creases one by one.
Step 21:
Two.
Step 22:
Three.
Step 23:
After everything is folded.
Step 24:
This is what it looks like from the side.
Step 25:
Bring the bottom up.
Step 26:
Tuck in the overlapping areas.
Step 27:
Complete This method has shortcomings... there is a corner inside that I don’t know where to hide.
Step 28:
Disadvantage No. 2: There are two layers in the overlapping area on the outside. Compare it.
Step 29:
