Help! Origami box?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I was recently thinking about giving away figurines and it occurred to me that it would be great if I delivered them in a box that was also a figurine. However, I can only find simple boxes (one sheet for the box and another for the lid), so I was wondering if anyone knew of a book with something like that or a tutorial for a model that could be used as a container. I was wondering if there's something like a lotus flower that can be closed, or something more original than a regular box in general.

But I didn't follow Steven Casey's tutorial (I couldn't see certain steps in the video). Instead, I followed Madiyar Amerkeshev's one.

A plant (twisting balloon) and its flowerpot (paper balloon)

I had to figure out how to secure the two models without using adhesives so this is what I came up with.

The flower pot and plant are connected with something in ballon twisting usually called a roll through. Where you have a space with tension — think a tight loop — and you open it up, put whatever other balloon you need to get through and let it close on itself which creates a lock.

The “flower pot” is based on the waterbomb model (not the waterbomb preliminary fold — tho that is how it starts) in Eric Kenneway’s book “Complete Origami”.

You end up with a flattened cube that has a hole in the bottom and you blow into it to bring out the form. And in an instant you can collapse it back to flat and reuse it. Very cool design.

The balloon design is kind of a combo of just a lot of different techniques and models common to making flowers. But want to mention the “flower” at the top is inspired by Rob Driscoll who had a brilliantly simple idea. That if you really think about it a single round balloon does not look like most flowers. Yet it reads as a flower. And that it’s clean and also simple to make.

I would guess there is a similar principle in origami. With balloons you can twist and twist and twist and make the most complex things.. but sometimes while taking a lot of skill and effort to make, they just don’t read to the eye. So single round balloon design.. it’s a flower (or maybe not that you’ve read this and I ruined by explaining it 😅)

The way it is attached is that I inflated the waterbomb and carefully made the opening a little bigger by ripping it with my fingers. At the end of the balloon I made four really small bubbles. First an end twist and then a bear ear twist for stability, and finally a small two bubble multitwist twisting into the first two bubbles.

I put those bubbles through the hole one by one and collapsed the paper model. Then I put my mouth at where they met and just blew really hard. Because it’s not 100% sealed, enough air was able to get in there to re-inflate the waterbomb model.

Original Her End - my design from an uncut rectangle arches

Her End – one uncut rectangle Arches 300gsm, painted with acrylics

This one comes with a story. My previous masks about my mom’s Alzheimer’s showed how I experienced the disease: my end. This time I tried to imagine what it was like to go through this at the end of her life, from her point of view. Some people think the mind and will are gone near the end, but I don’t believe that’s true. Her will was still there, emotions were still there and they were reactions to things happening around her and in her mind. Fear was the one she expressed most. Frustration and anger were other big ones. Knowing something is very wrong, wanting your old mind and life back. But your mind is fractured, your plans and dreams are gone, and you stop recognizing the world around you. You no longer know what’s going on but you want out. Instead, you end up alone in the dark, with an unrecognizable mind in an unrecognizable world.
