Video: Bonsai box

Bonsai box

A magnificent origami bonsai box made by Katrin Shumakov. At first it looks easy, with all the pre-creasing, but there’s a difficult part to it, I hope you can understand it from the diagrams and the video. I made one with a 20cm square paper and one with 10cm. It’s actually very sturdy and looks nice, tough I’m not convinced it will hold a bonsai.

On the authors site you can see one made with a rose/yellow paper, the great thing is that the inside and the upper border will remain yellow whereas the exterior will be rose.

    @josue: are you sure you’re sending them at the right address, remember you have to replace the [at] by @. I just found a nice dragon, but it’ll take a while.
