[Rather Simple] How to make the Ultimate Origami Heptagonal Box with Lid from 1 sheet of printer paper (divided into 2 rectangles). On the top and bottom of the origami container is a beautiful triple heptagon geometric progression that is slightly domed so it not only looks cool but you can also can push it in and out like a pop-it.

The other cool features of this origami gift box compared to other origami twist boxes is that this one is easier to fold, it's clean-looking on both the inside and outside, and it's versatile -- the box and lid can be folded from any rectangular dimension of paper provided that it's no longer than than 3 X 1. So A4 paper, letter-sized paper or even dollar bills work fine! The crux of this model is the special guideline at timecode 4:43 that allows the formation of a heptagonal box with a slightly domed top, irrespective of how wide of rectangular paper you are using. That special guideline doesn't work well if the paper is longer than 3 X 1 because the corner will land above the top edge instead of on the crease, and besides that, it would create a really short box or lid. If you want a really short box you could use a 3 X 1 rectangle and trim it narrower AFTER making the special guideline. Once you have made the special guidelines on the left and right, the next step is to connect them with a horizontal crease. Slightly adjusting this horizontal crease up or down will create a more domed or less domed box, respectively.

Another nice thing about this heptagonal container is that it entails simply dividing the length into 8 and then overlapping by one unit as you insert one end into the other to form the heptagon. If you've tried to fold an origami twist container using other techniques, you might find it's more difficult to fold than this one and might not look as clean inside. Also having seven sides is perhaps more interesting and unusual than an origami octagonal box or hexagonal box. So in conclusion... it's a pretty sweet box!...So you might as well use it as a candy box!😋🍬🍭🍡
