]]> 5243 1 31 Tip 8 ½" x 11" printer paper works well, but the cover (or a page) of a magazine works even better—and it’s a great way to recycle.

]]> 5244 2 40 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/40.jpg Fold long edge to opposite edge and unfold Fold one long edge to the opposite long edge, crease, then unfold.

]]> 5245 3 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/51.jpg Fold longs edge to center and unfold Fold one long edge to meet the center crease you just made. Now do the same with the other long edge, so they both meet in the center. Unfold completely.

]]> 5246 4 62 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/62.jpg Fold short edge to opposite edge and unfold Rotate your paper and fold one short edge to the opposite short edge. Unfold.

]]> 5247 5 73 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/73.jpg Fold short edge to center Fold each short edge to meet the center crease similar to Steps 1 and 2. Do not unfold.

]]> 5248 6 87 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/87.jpg Fold corner nearest bottom right-hand crease Orient the paper so that one of the long folded edges is closest to you. There should be three vertical creases in your paper. Starting at the bottom of the right hand crease, fold the nearest corner so that the folded edge lines up along the nearest vertical crease. Crease hard through all the layers.

]]> 5249 7 104 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/104.jpg Repeat creasing. Repeat this creasing on the three remaining corners.

]]> 5250 8 121 Tip You should now have a football shape with four triangular corners, two short edges, and two long, loose edges in the center of the model.

]]> 5251 9 130 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/130.jpg Fold loose edge away from center Fold one of the loose edges as far as it will go away from the center (over two of the triangles), bending the two small end tabs over to “lock” the edge in place. Repeat with the other edge.

]]> 5252 10 149 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/149.jpg Lift up box Place your thumbs inside and under the hemmed edge, and gently lift upwards to open up the box.

]]> 5253 11 159 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/299/159.jpg Pinch corners Pinch each corner and you’re done. Now make another one for a lid!

]]> 5254 12 175 Fact Did you know? Origami began in China and later caught on in Japan, where documents were folded in order to “certify” and secure them.
