Comments:These cube-shaped boxes are self-closing. They do not have a separate lid and base. The whole structure of each box is formed from a single sheet of paper.
 
The flaps which form the top may be closed in a variety of different ways; two versions are shown here.
 
"Bodleian Box" is the name given to this origami model by its designer. I am not sure where the name comes from -- perhaps it relates to the Bodleian Library at Oxford?
 
This box design works best with double-sided paper, as used here.
 
I found it very challenging to create these Bodleian boxes because of a paper twisting technique that was new to me. I spoiled a lot of paper figuring it out!
