| Comments: | All of the boxes shown here are irregular hexagons. They have two long sides of the same length combined with four short sides of the same length. This shape is often called a Prism.
Two different prism-shaped styles are shown here. At the center of the picture is a box made in the "Two Squares" style. Its name refers to square shapes visible inside the box -- in the roof of the lid and the floor of the base.
The other four boxes demonstrate the "Deformed Hexagon with Ears" style. The phrase "With Ears" refers to some small triangular flaps on the inside of the box. Depending on the depth of the box, these "ears" may stick out a bit beyond the edges of the lid or base.
The "Deformed Hexagon with Ears" style is very challenging to make; it requires many precise pre-creases and a tricky "twist-down" technique. The "Two Squares" style is easier to make.
Tomoko Fuse recommends starting with A4 paper (21 cm by 29.7 cm), but smaller or larger sheets can be used. The depth of the base (and, thereby, the height of the overall box) can be adjusted by varying the size of the paper. |
