Folding the Base for an Origami Valentine's Box

Video Transcript

"I'm just going to recap where we are. We've taken our 11x11 piece of paper. We've scored it in half and we've gone ahead and folded those. 5 1/2 and 5 1/2 and then we brought those 4 edges in. You have a little square again with all 4 edges in. Now you're going to take the edge that's closest to you and fold it up to that point. Again, you really need a bone folder to really get these edges tight. Turn it around, do the same thing on the opposite side, and press it down. Fold that down. Open it up and you're going to do the same thing again going in the opposite direction. I'm taking the edge closest to me, folding it towards the middle, pressing it down using my bone folder, turning it all the way around again, the edge towards me, fold it up, and press it down. That's done. Now, you're going to open the whole thing back up again and you'll have gazillion folds. That's exactly where we want to be, because now we're going to assemble the box."
