This is one piece of origami that I've found very useful over the years - good for keeping some trash temporarily before you throw it in the garbage bin, to contain sweets or cookies when you want to take them away and you have no container to do so, or simply to keep small items on hand until you decide what you want to do with them later on.
1. Place a rectangular piece of paper on a flat surface.
2. Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
3. Unfold the paper after creasing the middle where the fold was made.
4. Fold one of the lengthwise edges to the middle.
5. Fold the other lengthwise edge to the middle
so that both edges at in line with the crease in the middle of the paper.
Turn the paper on its back as shown in the above photo.
6. Bring the two shorter edges together and crease where the fold is made widthwise.
7. From where the middle crease (widthwise) has been made,
bring one corner to the middle of the paper, and then the other as shown above.
8. Bring the pointed edge to the centre as shown above.
9. Unfold the paper as shown above so that it is as in step 6 but now with the extra creases.
10. Life the inside corners so that they are positioned as above.
11. Bring the top edge over and flatten the paper as shown above.
12. Bring the two sides to the middle as shown above.
13. Fold the bottom edge over to secure the folds down.
14. Flip the paper over and do steps 10 to 13, as shown in the following photos.
15. The result of the above folds will give you something like the above photo.
16. You can now open the folds from the middle and get a box.
17. With some practice you would be able to make these boxes
anywhere and in quick time.
Happy folding!
