*Note that two numbers are given for the size of the lid and two for the size of the base.
The larger number is the measurement from a point at any corner to the point at the opposite corner.

| Comments: | These cute little boxes are based on a crease pattern by Phillip Chapman-Bell which I found on the web.
These self-closing boxes do not have a separate lid and base. Made from a single sheet of paper, they close with a twist and open by gently pulling the twist apart.
The original diagram, which could be printed on letter-size paper, has green areas which form a picture of a shamrock on top of the box when it is closed. Opening the box reveals a Guinness logo inside.
I made some of these shamrock boxes for St. Patrick's Day, but I also wanted similar boxes with an Easter theme, so I modified the diagram.
I removed everything but the crease lines and shrank the diagram to fit a 15 cm square sheet of origami paper.
The crease pattern has scalloped edges which must be cut with a scissors, which some origami purists may find objectionable, but I love these little boxes -- so much fun to make and to give away! |
