origami box




mountain folds on N-S and E-W lines


Using the mountain fold lines as guides, fold the four corners of the paper into its center. 
Then fold the right edge and the left edge into the centerline.

Now fold the top edge down and the bottom edge up, as shown below. 
Then I'm going to ask you to undo the last two-and-a-half steps!

The unfolded paper should like the one below. 
Now put your finger behind point A and do a reverse fold as shown as shown in the next 3 photos. 
One side of the box will be formed as you do this.
Do the same for point B and the other side of the box.
finish unfolding
