Comments: | These hexagonal boxes are based on the instructions/diagrams which came in some origami kits, but I made them using different types of paper than what was included in those kits. The lids of these boxes have a domed shape; the dome becomes steeper when stiffer paper is used. These boxes are a hybrid: a lid design by Makoto Yamaguchi has been combined with a base design by Tomoko Fuse. I prefer Fuse's base, even though it entails a "twist down" technique which is tricky to master. To get the 15 cm x 7.5 cm rectangular sheets needed for the lid of this box, I cut some 15 cm square sheets of paper in half. |
