How to make a Rectangular Paper Box DIY – Rectangle Origami Box

Well.. as mentioned, we have shared this Rectangular Origami Box before! It is one of the EASIEST Rectangular Box patterns, BUT you do need to learn the steps. The thing with Origami is not always that it is hard, but that there a number of steps to remember. I think this one, once you have made 3-4 times is really is to repeat and do again. So without further ado, take a look at this step by step origami box video. You could make a SQUARE Paper Box as a “short chubby Minion” to go with it?
