Boxes, Tetra-Pak Origami, etc.

Box with Lid, by David Brill

This beautiful design of a box, complete with a lid is from a square. The end result is a box whose size is one fifth that of the original sheet. The projecting piece of the box on the inside of the bottom fits into the lid, and keeps things neat and tight.

I got this lovely wrapping paper as a New Year gift, and it works fairly well for such models.










Lampshade 


I have been planning to do something like this for a long time, after seeing lots of such models.


It is a combination of accordion pleats along the length, and overlapped pleats along the width.

This one is from an A4 sheet of white copy paper, folded on Saturday while waiting for my weekly class to start.





Tetra-Pak Icosahedron

This one is made from 30 strips of 1x4, and 20 strips of 1x6, cut out of 5 tetra-pak juice packets. This one is too small to put a light in it, so I plan to make a bigger one.

The inspiration was this the award winning design.






 Fancy Square Box, by James Clark


Boxes are always a favourite object in Origami. This one is a nice design with a slightly difficult collapse after all the pre-creasing.

Caterpillar, by Maarten van Gelder


Starting with a 1x8 rectangle, this one involves lots of painstaking and repetitive folding, with most folds being repeated 16, 32 or even 64 times!
