How to fold an origami little lunchbox

Fold the sides of a diamond behind for a wide box, then fold the top behind and back up so a handle sticks up in the middle.

You need: 1 square sheet, blue or green on one side. Easy, 5 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the left and right corners behind along straight up-and-down lines, near the corners.
  2. Top behind. Fold the top corner behind along a straight line across, a little above the middle.
  3. And back up. Behind, fold it back up lower down, so just a small tip sticks up over the box as the handle.
  4. Flat handle. Fold the tip of the handle behind along a straight line across, so it is flat on top.
  5. Flat bottom. Fold the bottom corner behind along a straight line across, so the box sits flat.

Lunch is packed!

Draw a lid line and a white latch on the front. Fill it with paper sandwiches and an apple.
