| Comments: | Pentagonal boxes are a little easier to make than hexagons or octagons, although more difficult than squares.
Double-sided paper, as used here, produces the best looking pentagons.
The lids on these boxes are Tomoko Fuse's Lid A everted (turned inside out), so that the pattern which would usually appear on the inside of her Lid A appears on the outside instead.
This set of two boxes illustrates how the width of the pentagon base can be adjusted during the folding process, producing either a snug fit with the lid (box on left) or a looser fit (box on right). I prefer the snug fit.
Note that making the base narrower also makes it deeper. As you can see from the side view, one box is slightly deeper/taller than the other. |
