When it comes to origami boxes, most people probably picture the classic square type.

This article, which we hope those people will read, presents hexagonal boxes, candy-shaped boxes, and double-opening boxes with lids.

The results are so polished that you wouldn’t believe they’re made of origami, making them perfect as interior accents.

Feel free to use your favorite patterns and colors, or even larger origami paper.

They’re great for everyday use as small containers and make lovely gifts for friends.

They’re also perfect for finger exercises and dementia prevention, so try making them during recreation time.

[For Seniors] Origami Boxes: Perfect little containers for small items (1–10)

Once you master this, it’s really handy because you can make your own box when there isn’t a trash bin nearby.

The key to this idea is the creasing step.

Fold into a triangle twice, then into a square twice, then do a “zabuton” fold, and continue by folding the edges up and down, left and right to set the creases.

Open the paper completely, fold the top and bottom corners to meet the creases, then repeat the same folds once more.

Stand up the folded sections to form the sides of the box, then fold in the left and right to finish the box.

Shape it into a neat square and you’re done! With a little tweak, you can even make a box with ears!

When a square box is too small, how about making this rectangular box? I think it’s handy because you can also fit slightly longer items.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and fold the top and bottom corners to meet the crease.

Open it again after creasing, and once more fold the top and bottom corners along the same crease.

Fold both sides toward the center line twice to make rolled folds, then stand this part up to form the side.

Tuck in the corners on both ends to create the remaining sides and finish the box.

Make creases to form a 4×4 grid, then fold the lower left and right corners toward the center.

Fold the left and right edges to align with the center line, and open the bottom center corner outward into a triangle to fold it.

Fold the top edge down toward you to form the sides of the box.

From here, open the lower left and right corners—previously folded to the center—outward to create the remaining sides.

With this, the box is complete, so make another one and stack them to finish a lidded box.

Using two colors of origami paper makes it cute when stacked!

A hexagonal lidded box with a touch of elegance seems like it could be useful in any situation! This idea is made by combining four parts.

The basic method for making each part is the same, but if the box and the lid are the same size, the lid won’t close, so for the box portion you first fold the right edge about 1 cm before proceeding.

After overlapping and folding the left and right edges to make a crease, open it up, then align the left and right edges to that crease and make additional creases.

Using these creases, fold it into a hexagon to finish.

The front of the lid features a rose-like design that I couldn’t help but gaze at in admiration.

What an artistic idea—turning a square sheet of origami into a three-dimensional round box! With this idea, the key is to make careful, precise creases.

Use the creases to fold it into a box shape while sinking the corners to round out the bottom.

Make two of these and stack them together, and you’ve got a perfectly round box! You might struggle a bit when forming the corners, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy—so definitely give it a try.

I also thought it would be cute to add ears and turn it into a panda or bear box.

An elegant box with a gemstone-like base instantly brightens up any tabletop just by being there.

It does look difficult to make at first glance…

To create this octagonal box, the key is to add lots of very fine creases.

As you might expect, there are many steps for scoring the folds, but once you get through that, it’s just a matter of collapsing it—so give it a try if you like.

Make a lid, then create the base one size smaller and fit them together, and it becomes a jewelry box! It’s so lovely you’ll want to store accessories like earrings and rings in it.

After folding the left and right edges together several times to make creases and opening it up, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line.

Next, add diagonal creases between the initial crease lines, then overlap the left and right sides and roll the paper into a tube.

Use the diagonal creases to twist-fold one end of the tube.

Make two of these and nest them together to complete the candy box! I’d be very happy to receive a gift in this box.

It’s also fun that you can change the color or pattern of the origami to create your own design.
