I absolutely LOVE wrapping gifts. I love making a gift something extra special by presenting it all beautifully wrapped. But I don't love throwing away gift wrapping. It always makes my heart hurt a little to stuff beautiful paper in the trash. Enter a DIY origami box!
You can use these again and again (or your recipient can!) reducing paper waste and making a nice easy way to wrap something up. The folds for this are simple. Tucking the ends of the box in can be tricky but I've made a video tutorial to make this part easier to see how to do.
Mayhen Press patterned papers are awesome for these gift boxes. Since our pattern sheets are double-sided that means you have two choices for what colorway shows on the outside of the box! These boxes hold their shape and are nice and robust for re-use.
I'd love to see how your boxes turn out! You can share how it went by commenting below or sharing on Instagram by tagging @mayhen_press! Have fun making!
