This is one of my favorite origami boxes because it doesn't just rest on a largebase like most but instead stands on four little legs. I think it's a little weird tofold and there are a few times when you have to fold through a lot of layers so Isuggest using thin paper such as origami paper.

Step 1 :

You will need:-one square piece of paper

The first thing to do is to make a base. To do that, follow these steps:

-Fold the paper in half both directions to make the diagonals. -Fold each corner into the middle.-Make sure all the creases crisp and then collapse into something that looks likea dart fletching.

Fold down the front layer and unfold.

Squeeze the top and bottom of where you just folded to open it and then creasethe layer so it makes a rectangle (pictures 3, 4, 5).

Bring a layer down and crease to make a white square shape with two yellowrectangles ons the sides (see last picture)

Flip the model over and repeat these steps.

Fold both sides in to meet the middle line.

Fold down the middle triangle flaps and then unfold them.

Tuck the flaps into the opening that the two triangles pointing towards themiddle make.

Flip the model over and repeat all these steps on the other side.

Step 5 :

Fold the tip up to align with the triangle shape.

Fold what is now the bottom part up so that it looks like a crown.

Tuck the corners of the last part you folded into the pockets on the left andright.

Got there in the end! Bit of confusion in step 1 last 3 pictures. Got the dartfletching, but the folded triangles were on the inside.... Made Step 2 picture 1and 2 confusing as mine was inside out... Love the box though. Will be using it to store my chain mail rings beforeassembly.
