Ten-Sided Yin-Yang Globe

If you like to put figurines out of paper, then try to make an original souvenir in origami technique. The box, the diagram of which is presented below, looks unusual and will please the one to whom you present it.

For its manufacture you need:

• Print 2 sheets of A4 printer paper with patterns, as in the photo, in two different colors, for example, white and violet;
• cut;
• Bend the rounded ends of all parts;
• Attach the details, alternating the colors so that they coincide with the center.

If everything is done correctly, then you should get a figure resembling a spiral sign of eternity with outgoing rays.

Then from a paper it is necessary to cut out a circle of small diameter and to paste from a wrong side.

Turn over and begin to collect the rounded ends into a new spiral, just like the first time.

When all the details are woven, you will not need to glue the circle, because if the paper is thick enough, the box will not open by itself.

Variant in the old style

If you are thinking how to make a jewelry box from cardboard, so that it looks solid and presentable, we suggest paying attention to the product with three drawers.

To decorate it you will need artificial ribbons, beads for pearls and flowers.

First of all, you need to glue together from a thick cardboard three square boxes, the depth of which is one third of the length of one side.

Next you need:

• Cut out figures (see photo) from cardboard;
• Glue together "corners";
• First glue the two boxes so that there is a space between them for the third;
• In the second, exactly in the center, a third box with glued glue is inserted into the two sides;
• We decorate.

Alternatively, it is possible to suggest that the box be pasted with a cloth or artificially aged newspaper or note paper. To do this, you need to put the sheets for a few minutes in strong tea (of course, without sugar) and dry it in the sun.

Then connect the two parts of the box, filling the last fragment of the corner, glued from the left part (see photo above), inside the other.

I decorate the top of the product with artificial flowers, beads, ribbons and lace.

Now you know how to make a box from paper, and in several ways, and you can make such an ornament for your dressing table or as a gift to your relatives.
