Epic Origami

The Baggi box is a really cool model that was designed by Giuseppi Baggi. It is a very sturdy and practical box, but it has one super neat feature. It can be folded from a sheet of origami paper or an A4 piece of paper (8.5 by 11 inches). When you fold it from an A4 piece of paper, you get different sizes of boxes depending on how you orient the paper to begin with. This is a good model to make out of patterned cardstock paper. It makes your box even sturdier and makes it look pretty cool. Step 1: Start with your paper color-side down. If you are using A4 paper, orienting it vertically will give you a cube shaped box, while orienting it horizontally will give you a skinny box (pictures of each of these boxes are at the bottom of the page) Step 2: Valley fold the top up to the bottom, crease, and unfold Step 3: Valley fold the top and bottom edges to the center, crease, and unfold Step 4: Valley fold the bottom corners in so their edges align with the lowe
