Thank you so much! That was great! I am off to make one right now!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial! I am going to have to try this soon! :)
That was fantastic. I think I am in love with your blog and it is the first time I am here! I would love it if you came to visit mine one day! Thanks for sharing!
Kristina,
This is great! I found your site a few days ago and am now hooked. I love your style and all of your work!! (I find myself checking it daily now for inspiration.)
I just made a few of these boxes, however my lids come all the way to the bottom of the bottom of the base. (Does that make sense?) How did you get your lids to fit so nicely so that you can see part of the pattern on the bottom of the box?
Thanks again for the tutorial!! :o)
Kristina, you outdid yourself. Great video. Great editing to provide measurements. Great to finally put a voice with the face :D Have to go... I'm off to make a box!
You rock! You need your own TV show. Thanks for the tutorial. I will have to try that soon. I watched the one on how to tie a knot a few times and was actually able to do it. Thanks again!
WOW! I LOVED this "box movie" of yours! You make it look so easy! Thanks so much for providing the measurements and the staple tip - I can't wait to try one of my own.
ps. You look so pretty in this video - not "smurf" like at all! hehehe
WOW! Great tutorial. I love your editing to give us the measurements again. Thanks for taking the time to put that together and share. I am such the visual learner and probably wouldn't ever attempt this box if I hadn't "seen" it done.
Hi Kristina,
I'm hooked on your blog and love your ideas. Will definately try this one. I'd like to CASE one of your round cards too. they're SO COOL. Just wondering how the Coluzzle works though. Is it a tool to trace the circle or does it cut too?
Would love your advise.
thanks,
Mary
Okay, so I'm addicted too ... but probably for a different reason: I miss you! Love the tutorial videos because then I get to see you! (BTW, the children love them to for the same reason: they love to see pictures of their aunt Kristina.) Nice job!
Oh, did I tell you Eliza made a bunch of these for her 1st grade teachers' end-of-the-school-year-gifts?
Love the video! Thank you !!
What a wonderful movie tutorial! I am off to try my own box now :) Thank you so much for the time and effort that goes into creating your tutorials.
That was awesome. Thanks for the time putting up the tutorial. You are amazing. I'm so glad I found your blog!! I guess I am somewhere in your side-line family under Jill Olsen!! I was so bummed I missed the St George training so it was great to see your posts from it. I am under Brandi Barnard (FYI) and I just moved from SLC to Missouri. So, we have alot in common. You are fabulous!!!!!!
Bravo. You totally rock. They are right, you know...you should have your own TV show..Then I could say "I knew her when..."
Thanks, Kiddo!
Thanks for the tutorial! I love it! The box is sooo cute! I am going to have to try it right away! I love how simple, but elegant the top of the box is! Thanks again! :O)
Thank you SO much, Kristina! I'm lovin' these tutorials!! :)
kristina,

Thank you so much for putting in the time to make this video tutorial. It's one thing to follow written directions, but another to see it done. I wouldn't have made one of these fabulous boxes if you didn't make the video. That would have been such a loss now that I have made one. I feel like I should send you payment for it. I will be making MANY more of these boxes. I LOVE your blog and visit daily (sometimes more hoping there is something new!)
That was AWESOME! Thanks for the GREAT tutorial, it's so wonderful to SEE what to do! You did a fabulous job! :)
Kristina - I'm really loving your video tutorials!! You're such an inspiration - I'm off to try one of these boxes later today!
FAB FAB FAB tuturial!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for this tutorial
I'm a visual learner and always I have a hard time
with written tutorial yours was great.
You are a genius!!! I have to try this box....
it's so pretty. Maybe I can finally get rid of
of all my old DSP....
Thanks for a great tutorial!!!
Thanks for an amazing tutorial! I have a question though, what's the final dimension of the box? I don't have 12x12 papers, so I wanted to know to try with smaller papers :)
Thanks!
Kristina,
thank you so much for the great tutorial!! It's very well done and easy to follow along. Love everything you do, Thank you for sharing it with us!

Thank you Kristina for a fabulous tutorial. I made one of these boxes last night thanks to your super instructions, and it was so easy!!
Your blog is beautiful, very pleasing to the eye. I love your designs. :-).
Thank you!
Sam.
Great tutorial. Thanks for all the great tips on here!
WooHoo! I did it! It took me about 100 times to watch you tie the ribbon to get one that looked decent but I did it! Seriously these tutorials are the BEST!! I love my little box and will upload it tomorrow! Thank you!!
WOW! Your tutorial is awesome. I 'quietly' watched your video last night while my family was cheering against the Yankees. I ran to my studio - chose my paper - grabbed the stapler, ribbon, & double sided tape and in under five minutes I had an adorable box! Thank you for sharing!
Teresa
What a great tutorial! Thanks.
Awesome tutorial! I'm not scared to try it now!! :)
You are amazing. Thank you for doing this for us! I'm so impressed! What else can I say?
OH MY GOODNESS !!
I just posted a folded origami box like this one on my blog. I was looking for something to do for a challenge that I am in for a Christmas or winter theme and I was looking through all my instruction sheets and came across my notes for a folded origami box. I love your tutorial that I just watched.. Great job.. Love your site too.
Take a look at mine and tell me what you think..

This is a great box-thanks so much for the visual tutorial! I used to have a box pattern that fit 4x4 tiles perfectly, before my computer crashed! I've been going crazy trying to find it-what is the finished size of this box?
I just found your blog last week and I love it! The video tutorial is awesome and easy to follow! Thanks so much for sharing as I've added your link to my blog. BTW, Love your hand writing...no need for a stamp! ;)
Wow! Love your origami box video...thanks so much!!!
Kristina, awesome tutorial. I made 5 of these for holding 3 x 3 cards for teacher gifts. I'm happy with how they turned out. Here they are if you want to take a look.

It's no surprise to me that you are an SU employee. Your design savvy always catches my eye. And if you are the reason why I LOVE the SU patterned papers now and am buying them like crazy...then I say THANK YOU! :) (well, my wallet doesn't, but I do).
You are down right AMAZING!!! I love the video on how to make this box. I am so so so challenged. This give me such a step up on how to do things. Keep them COMING. I need one on how to make the plastic sleeves for the nugget boxes. So challenged on that one that I have given up!!!
Great videos.
Thanx for tips that's really cool one .i'm going to make right now

I know I am a little late but I just signed up to be a demonstrator and was looking at your tutorials on my day home sick. Thanks for all of the wonderful tutorials on your blog! I love this box and think I am going to do it at my first stamp camp!
Hi! Wow, I like! It's looks easy, I have to try! Thank You!

So far we have made three! Thank you for the awesome tutorial! We love our boxes!
Hi,
I thought this tutorial was brilliant! Do you know where i can get this paper from (im in the UK) I cant find any 11 1/2" square paper/card anywhere! Thanks x
Hi Kristina!
How cool is this project? I am a 6th grade teacher and I think I will do those adorable origami boxes with them (of for them at the end of the year with a special message inside? I am not sure yet...). Anyway, thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to put a video on your blog: I am a visual person and it is hard for me to follow written instructions. Again, wow!
Emilie ;)
Your blog is absolutely amazing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You are so creative! Thanks for the idea. I Love origami too.
Wwwaaaawwww, you are an artist!!!! this work is very interesting, and very easy, thank you for sharing...
This was an AMAZING tutorial! When I signed up to be a SU! demonstrator, we made origami boxes at my first party and they were a HUGE HIT! I've done them a few times since. THANK YOU SO MUCH 4 SHARING W/US!
This was an excellent video. You're very dedicated to your work Kristina! Thank you. I love to see the next card on You Tube. Question? What do you do with all of the lovely cards that you make?
Kristina, I made one of those boxes and I had the same problem that someone else mentioned, my lid goes all the way down to the table and completely covers the bottom of the box! I love how on your boxes you can see a little bit of the bottom, so I was wondering how come mine go all the way down?
Thanks for this. It is great that you share your ideas for all to see, we all appreciate your efforts.
Hi Kristina! Giulia from Italy.. 6yr old!
thanks so much for this video, i realy like it!
I have take 2 paper from the mum's desk(with his permission!) and i have made it for my jewels!
love your video Kristina... is simple for me learn about cardmaking!!!
Great Site & great tutorials! Can't wait to do a challenge.
great video, I'm off to make one now.
Thanks for all the great videos, Kristina, they are a pleasure to watch.
Hi Kristina...
I just watched your video courtesy of a link from PTI. Thank you for showing such a simple way to make something so adorable. I have the same question as one posted earlier - my lid goes all the way down over the bottom, so I'm wondering how you get yours to stand up taller?
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful ideas. I just discovered your blog and am looking forward to lots of inspiration.
nice tutorial!
Guess this won't go through cuz I don't have a "blog"
I'm just dissapointed the video starts off then completely stops and cannot see how to finish the box, what is the secrect to make the video move forward? Jan in Napa
Hi Kristina, I am having the same problem with the top completly covering the bottom of the box. What do you do to prevent this? Awesome video by the way.
Outstanding tutorial and awesome video. I'm going to make one tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
thank you so much!!!
FABULOUS! I'll be linking to this in The Daily DIY!
I've search for instruction on how to make an origami box before and your tutorial is the best! So easy to understand and learn, love it! I have bookmark your page for future projects. Thanks a bunch!
