How to make an origami box in the shape of a cat
You will need a large amount of colored paper, scissors and double-sided tape. To fold one product, you need to prepare two squares: 15x15 cm and 7.5x7.5 cm (0). First we make the body of the cat, and then we move on to making the head.
1. Take a larger sheet, fold it twice, first in half, then diagonally.
2. Bend each corner to a point located in the center.
3. Turn the craft over and fold it in half horizontally.
4. Take the paper in both hands, pinch the right and left triangles between your thumb and forefinger.
5.Connect the top corners by folding the diamond formed inside the product.
6. Bend the triangle located in front to the right, and the one located at the back to the left.
7. You will see that you have a “pocket” divided in half.
Insert your fingers into each half and straighten the paper, gradually bending it down.
Turn over and repeat the action.
8. Place the bottom triangles on each side together.
9. Connect the edges on the right and left with a line running in the middle. Turn over and repeat the same.
10. Unfold the folds made in step 9.
In the lower part crafts you have two points, bend the paper to them as shown in the figure. After that, hide it inside.
11. Fold the piece in half on the left side to the nearest vertical line.
And again, focusing on the resulting width.
Repeat the action with the right half of the craft. Then turn it over and perform similar manipulations.
Don't forget that the triangles at the bottom in the middle must be hidden (see step 10).
12. At the top of the triangle, make two folds towards the center.
There is no need to try to connect the edges with the middle line; they should be located at a short distance from it.
13. Grab the top of the triangle and fold the paper first up, straighten it, and then down. This way you will have two folds (indicated by arrows).
14. Lift up the triangle by pinching the paper where the paperclip is located. Bend the part a little.
15. Turn the product over and bend the triangle down and then up.
16. Take the craft in your hands and use your fingers to straighten the paper in the middle. The body of the origami cat is ready.
To make the head, you will need a second sheet.
1. Fold it diagonally, then align the bottom corners with the top of the triangle.
2.Make a small triangle, bend the upper corners down and slightly diagonally.
3. Form a fold line and hide the part inside. Turn it over and slightly bend the bottom triangle twice.
The paper cat's head is ready, now use double-sided tape to secure it to the body. The nose (trapezoid) can be painted or white paper glued to make the craft look more interesting. Now all that remains is to pack the candies into small bags, tie them with a beautiful bow and put them inside. The origami gift box in the shape of a cat is ready.
