Comments:These cute little boxes are based on a crease pattern by Phillip Chapman-Bell which I found on the web while searching for St. Patrick's Day origami projects.
 
The crease pattern, which can be printed on letter-size paper, includes special green areas which form a picture of a shamrock on top of the box when it is closed.
 
Opening the box reveals a familiar and appropriately Irish logo inside.
 
I made a few dozen of these boxes, to be filled with green jelly beans, as favors for a St. Patrick's Day party hosted by my sister-in-law and her family.
