Left, tsuzura ( lid : pp. 12 15 ; base : pp. 16 18 1

Right, variation, a smaller tsuzura. Basically units are folded

almost in the same way as the larger one, except that you

begin with a diagonal instead of a line that divides side lines in

half.

Square boxes : below, ‘bow knot’; right, ‘wheel’ ; above,

‘ lightning’ (lids : pp. 24 26 ; base : pp. 1 9 -23 ).

I am very fond of this crisp little box. Its folds look so simple, but try separating the units fo r a friend and ask them to reassemble the base of the box. It’s quite a brain teaser !

By just joining the same units d ifferently you w ill find that new patterns appear like magic. Here are two such patterns, and a th ird , a combination of the firs t two.

Both folding and jo in ing are very simple. We use four units. Let us firs t fold the units as follows.

Lids of square boxes© 1986

Now let us make lids fo r the boxes we have made. As with the boxes, two d ifferent lid patterns can be made from the same units, and the ir combination makes a th ird pattern. The outside patterns of the lids match those of the boxes.

The jo in ing of the th ird pattern is not illustrated, but it is the same as the jo in ing of the lightning-patterned box on p. 23.

Lid of a square box : fancy pinwheelС ¡988

To make this lid, you fold and join in almost the same way as has already been done (pp. 34 40), but the result is something unique. For best effect, use paper with one side colored d ifferently than the other.
