A model design of Leyla Torres
Boxes and containers always come in handy for gifts and just for the pleasure of folding them. This Boat Drawer Box is a two-piece container: a boat-shaped drawer, and the sleeve into which the drawer slides. Both units are made with square pieces of paper of the same size.
- The drawer is an adaptation of the traditional Japanese masu box, which is made from a square piece of paper. The paper for the example below is patterned on one side, and white on the reverse.
- THE SLEEVE piece is quite versatile. Many variations can be made after completing some basic folds on a square piece of paper. The paper for the example below is black on one side, and red on the other.
- In shape, the sleeve is related to boxes presented on other Origamigos posts including the Candy Coffin and the Advent Box. The process of making this box, the boat drawer box, is different allowing for many creative color combinations and shape possibilities.
