Creating origami shapes can be a fun and rewarding activity for both kids and adults. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make a paper parallelepiped, a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces. Let’s get started!

Materials you will need:

  • One sheet of square paper
  • Scissors (optional)
  • Glue (optional)

Step 1: Start with a square piece of paper

To make a paper parallelepiped, begin with a square piece of paper. If you don’t have a square sheet, you can easily cut a regular rectangular sheet into a square shape using scissors.

Step 2: Fold the paper diagonally (corner to corner)

Take one corner of the square paper and fold it diagonally to the opposite corner, creating a triangle shape. Make sure the edges align perfectly, and crease the fold firmly. Then, unfold the paper back to its original square shape.

Step 3: Fold the paper in half horizontally

Take the left corner of the square paper and fold it towards the right corner, horizontally dividing the square in half. Crease the fold well and unfold the paper again.

Step 4: Fold the paper in half vertically

Now, take the top corner of the square paper and fold it towards the bottom corner, vertically dividing the square in half. Ensure the edges align properly, and crease the fold firmly before unfolding the paper once more.

Step 5: Fold the paper diagonally (corner to corner)

This time, fold the top right corner to the bottom left corner diagonally, creating another triangle shape. Make sure to align the edges precisely and crease the fold firmly. Unfold the paper and return to the square shape.

Step 6: Fold the edges to the center

Now, take each corner and fold it towards the center of the square. Start with the top corner, then the bottom corner, and finally the side corners. Ensure all folds are neat and precise.

Step 7: Tuck the flaps inside

With all the corners folded towards the center, carefully tuck the flaps inside the parallelepiped. The overlapping edges should hold them securely in place. If desired, you can add a small amount of glue to make the structure more robust.

Step 8: Your paper parallelepiped is complete!

Congratulations! You have successfully created a paper parallelepiped. You can now use it as a decorative item or even as a gift box, storing small items inside.

Origami is a versatile art form, and creating different shapes can be an engaging and creative experience. Feel free to experiment with different paper sizes and colors to add your personal touch to each creation.

Have fun folding!
