Comments: | Double-sided paper works best for octagonal boxes. 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. It is perfect for making octagons -- thin enough so that the units assemble without bunching or binding, but strong enough to make a sturdy box. This paper also works well for making butterflies, like the one perched on the pink box. 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. |
