Foundation - Design Technology: Session 2
Origami Paper Box -
Today we are trying to make and decorate this:
There are a few steps to this we need to be careful of. The boxes can not be made to the same size. Otherwise they do not slot together properly without crushing one of them slightly. So we need to make 2 boxes very close in size.
This is how:
Once you have made your boxes you can decorate them as you see fit. You can stick things too them and try boxes of different sizes. They also are a good way to make boxes for small gifts for people.
Please email your teacher a picture of what you have made.
