| Comments: | The lids on these non-modular pentagonal boxes were very challenging to make. They require a great number of precise pre-creases.
Tomoko Fuse recommends scoring the pre-creases. I found this very helpful, but not all types of paper can stand up to such treatment-- the washi used here could. It did not tear or crack at the intersection of multiple creases like many other types of paper I tried.
The Yuzen Chiyogami Washi used here was offered in very large sheets on a per sheet basis. These very large sheets were too big for me to cut down accurately with my own equipment, but I was able to special order the paper in smaller sheets by paying a cutting fee.
This washi was not too bulky where multiple layers overlapped but also not so flimsy that my boxes collapsed when I actually tried to use them. In other words, it was ideal for these box styles -- plus I love the rich colors and traditional patterns of this paper. |
