Just one link works. You can buy such boxes in common shops with souvenirs in Japan.

If you want to view the links, you have to visit the main site first = http://www.papercraftcentral.net/ = (which sets a cookie to prevent people from leeching photos) and then open a new tab or just use the same window to browse the links...

Why starting two threads to ask the same thing?

Anyway loose the freight to try CP's, in this case they are very straightforward. Just check one I did for that type of boxes a while ago.

Green are references, straight lines are mountains and the crease that has an inclination and the ones that it connects with, are valleys

This seems like a good project for me for next week. I'll make a video and show you how.

Regarding the other boxes, some look as they were Tomoko Fuse's (don't know from which book) there is a blue one from Chris Palmer, which there are no diagrams for.

The video did not turn out as well as I expected, but here's the result, I hope you find it useful:

Thanks for the video and CP for this. I made one today (next time I will use a bigger circle to start with!) and it came out OK... my next one will certainly be better. Two questions if you don't mind:

1) if I understand this right, the only reason for folding into 1/32 is for the reference... you only need the 1/16 creases?

2) I don't quite understand how you figured out the thirds (the model went out of the frame a bit in the video)... I just kind of eyeballed it but it sounded like there was a more exact way to find the first 1/3 mark?
