| Comments: | These non-modular hexagonal boxes are very challenging to make because of the many precise pre-creases required and the use of a tricky "twist-down" technique. Scoring the pre-creases helps a lot, especially when using scrapbook paper, as here.
If you have already mastered Tomoko Fuse's non-modular pentagon boxes, then the hexagons will be easier; many of the folds/steps for her hexagons are very similar to those for her pentagons.
Some of the box lids shown here are my own variations on Tomoko's designs. It is often possible to alter the appearance of her lids significantly by making just a few simple changes in the final folds.
One disadvantage of using single-sided scrapbook paper for this style of box, as I have done here, is that the inside roof of the lid will be plain white. However, I have made some of these plain roofs more interesting by adding flat stickers, dimensional stickers, liners, or adhesive faux gems. |
