| Comments: | Double-sided paper works best for this style of box. The paper used here was a gift from my friend Marcianna. It has a delightful patchwork quilt print on one side and a complementary solid color on the reverse.
This paper has an embossed texture, a slightly glossy surface, and a nice crispness. It folds easily and neatly.
This paper is perfect for octagons -- thin enough so that the units can be assembled without bunching or binding, but strong enough to make sturdy boxes.
The folding and joining of units for octagon boxes is complex. The octagon base is especially difficult. Of all the modular origami boxes featured on this site, the octagons are probably the most challenging to create.
