LOvE Art Glitter glue too. Remind folks that they do need to use a good stainless steel pin in their glue applicators as cheap pins will rust. The one that comes with the 'kit' is great.

Great job making the books! The boxes can certainly be tricky - we have lots of other origami tutorials on our channel if you'd like to try folding something else! 😊

what if you don't have a centimeter ruler?This video is awesome, I will be going back as soon as I make some jelly prints. woot woot I love the box's as well.

@YasutomoArtOrigami Ай бұрын

Hi! The conversion is to take the centimeter number and divide it by 2.54 to get the inches. For example, to find out the conversion of 15 cm to inches, you do 15 / 2.54 = 5.9, or about 6 inches. You can also Google the conversion (which is what I do on the fly!) Hope this helps 😊

I'm confused as to what paper to use for the text block to be able to watercolor on the pages later. I tried Rice paper and Zinc paper, both too thin.

@YasutomoArtOrigami 9 күн бұрын

Hi Sydney! If you want to watercolor in your tiny books, you can use medium-weight sulphite paper or very lightweight watercolor paper. We hope this helps!

I spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to make the tato box. I have "mastered" the folds but putting it all together has eluded me. It seems that I have too much "paper" when assembling the box - interior of box is puffed up paper and the bottom of the box is random flaps no matter where I push it. I'm thinking I may have missed a "fold" because my box sides are only 1 inch high. Any suggestions?

@YasutomoArtOrigami Ай бұрын

Hi there! The interior of the box does end up a little puffy with this design. The random flaps might just need to be tucked in a certain way when assembling. This video uses a slightly different fold, but they do a nice job showing the assembly portion very clearly. If you watch their assembly and how they arrange the excess paper, it might help with the final assembly! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ic5gfKuLlbCng6c.html Hope this helps - good luck! 😊

I don’t know why my papers didn’t add up to yours on the second round of folding the boxes, around 14:55 😢 the first one seemed to work. 🫣 no idea what I’m mixing up. what is the author called of the books?

Hi there! For the original design you can check out "Origami Boxes" by Tomoko Fuse 😊 a.co/d/0cY8OknF
