Q&A for How to Fold an Origami Cube

I often employ a technique where I use my thumb and fingernail, with the tip of my pointer finger, to run along the crease line. It's not exactly pinching the fingernail together but rather using the fingernail and the tip of the finger to align and define the crease sharply. Simultaneously, I secure the paper with my other hand to prevent any potential shifting that might occur while dragging my thumb and pointer finger along the fold. This ensures precision and stability in the crease.

The paper used may either be too stiff or not stiff enough. Also, the folding needs to be precise, as it can affect how well it will shape out. With the help of a paper clip inserted into the hole, it is possible to nudge out the side walls and push it into shape.

That would be a good way to make an origami hot air balloon. However, it would likely not be able to function because hot air balloons rely on fire, and paper is combustible.

You can, but it’s harder with the thick paper. Don’t use construction paper for harder origami because it is very hard to fold.

Keep practicing! You can do it! Calm down and take a deep breath first and then relax. Perhaps writing out a list of the steps will help.

There are much harder cubes to make! This includes the Maso box and Fujimoto cube! Learn this one and learn those next!
