| Comments: | The beautiful Handmade art paper used to make this set of boxes was a gift to me from my daughter Amy. This paper came in very large rectangular sheets which I then cut down to smaller sizes as needed.
Note that two of these boxes have been embellished with a small origami butterfly, sewn to the lid with a few stitches of thread.
The folding and joining of units for octagonal 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. |
