MAKING GIFT BOXES FROM USED A4 PAPER MATERIALS:

1. An A4 sheet of paper.

2. A scissor

INSTRUCTION:

Step 1 - fold and cut the A4 paper into 2 pieces over the long side. We call it piece 1 and piece 2.

Step 2: The first piece (piece 1) we cut out 1 cm in length to make the bottom of the box.

Step 3: We fold each piece into 16 equal parts (2x8 rectangles) and fold 8 diagonals in the half 8

rectangles like this

Put it that side

Step 4: Fold the bottom half up, remember to leave a little space to the centerline.

Fold it into a pentagon [5 sides] follow the diagonals, so we have 3 rectangles overlap 3 others.

Step 5: Now, fold down the 5 diagonals as shown until you have those 5 overlap each other.

This part is a bit tricky

Step 6: Spring it out, you will have something looks like a flower like this

This is what yours should be right now, inside the box

Step 7: Tuck away the extending bits…repeat the whole process for the cap of the box

FINISH: Now we have a mini cute gift box: D:D:D
