Small treasures deserve beautiful boxes to hold them, and origami, the deceptively simple Japanese art of folding and connecting multiple sheets of paper, makes a range of wonderful styles and unique containers. Create endless variations by changing colors, patterns, and textures. Plentiful photos, bright and close up, will show you how to go each step of the way, and there are even suggestions for appropriate things to put in each kind of box.

With this book you'll make wonderful boxes!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami Boxes For Gifts, Treasures & Trifles (Paperback)
This book has wonderfully clear instructions (better than those of Tomako Fuse). The best part of it is that it has color photos of each stage of the projects so that you can make sure you are following the directions correctly. The boxes I've made are beautiful and make nice gifts on their own. This is the book to buy if you are a beginning paper folder.

Introduction to Joy and Art of Origami Boxes,
By
This review is from: Origami Boxes For Gifts, Treasures & Trifles (Paperback)
When I returned from my Japan vacation in Nov. of '98, I sought out origami books at some of the local bookstores and happened upon this book. The pictures are well done, and the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. A great introduction to the art and joy of making Origami boxes. I was hooked immediately. That holiday season's theme was Origami boxes. The boxes are brought out every xmas at Mom and Dad's and are placed under the tree before the store bought gifts arrive and after they depart. The boxes are wonderful conversation pieces. I share "Ben Eckley from Freemont, WA. USA" view on the Dirk's borrowing from Tomoko Fuse. Dirk's book hooked me in. After making all of the boxes in Dirk's book, I sought out additional Origami books on boxes which led me to Tomoko Fuse, the true master.

Impressive gift boxes made by a beginner!,

This review is from: Origami Boxes For Gifts, Treasures & Trifles (Paperback)
I can't seem to put this book down. I take it with me and make boxes on the commuter train to work. I'm going to put homemade candy in them for Christmas gifts. I made them for my 2 grown children and wrote messages on scrolls to place inside.These boxes make unique gifts even when they are empty!
