2. Bend one of the corners so that it looks towards the center (at the intersection of our diagonal lines). Then we bend it one more time so that the edge of this fold is flush with the strip drawn in the center. Then we unravel the figure and see that folds have formed, which we will need later.

3. We do the same thing that we did in point two with all other angles.

4. We make cuts on both sides as shown in the picture.

5. And we begin to fold our craft step by step.

6. After creating the lid of the box, we proceed to creating the bottom for it. To do this, take a piece of paper measuring slightly less than 21.2 cm by 21.2 cm. The bottom is made in the same way as the lid. When creating it, you take plain paper, unlike the cover, when it is best to use something colorful, containing several colors, perhaps even some kind of picture.

2. It is necessary to bend the paper square in half crosswise and carefully smooth the fold line so that it is clearly visible. Unfold the square and repeat the same thing, this time bending the sheet vertically. Unbend the workpiece. You should have a square with two intersecting lines.

3. Bend the square in half diagonally. Then straighten it and repeat the same for the other diagonal.

4. Fold each of the 4 corners of the square towards its center to form a diamond shape.
