| Comments: | This nested set of non-modular octagonal boxes was created with red and green paper to celebrate the yuletide.
Note that the paper called Red Torinoko Foil is not really foil -- the word foil in its name refers to the sparkly patches of gold, silver, and bronze scattered across the surface of the red paper. The green Kingin has bits of gold and silver foil on its surface.
This style of box is 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. Having a few extra fingers or an extra hand would help even more!
If you have already mastered Tomoko Fuse's non-modular hexagon boxes, then the octagons will be easier; many of the folds/steps for her octagons are very similar to those for her hexagons.
One of the boxes shown here has a lid which is my own variation on Tomoko Fuse's design. I applied wet folding techniques to get some curvy crescent shapes which spiral around the center of the lid. Wet folding doesn't work with all types of paper, but was successful with the Green Kingin used here. |
