Shuriken Star Origami Box
I love origami boxes. Modular, single sheet designs, bowls, dishes… everything!
And although modular boxes are usually more practical because they are sturdier, the single sheet self-locking ones are more fun to make! So if you fancy a bit of a challenge, try this ninja star-shaped box designed by Evi Binzinger. I made three of them! Find links to a crease pattern and video instructions in the description section.

Hi! I’ve followed your blog for a long time and I love your work, especially your kusudamas. I love boxes and I’m certainly going to try this as soon as I can :)
Thank you Sandra, I hope you enjoy folding it!
maravilhosos trabalhos, adorei,
i like your blog but i cant figure out how to do the shuriken star box
THX
Hi, I’d like this box! But I don”t understand creasepatterns and the video can’t be loaded….. Could you explain it to me??? THX
Hi, Ruth! The video loads just fine for me, don’t know what the problem is.
This design is quite challenging even with the video, I truly can’t see how one can “explain” a model like this.
Hi, my brother fixed it, and I tried it. It is wonderwul! Thanks!
Same I can’t go to the video.
I like this site very much! Did the lovely Shuriken Star Box today. Thanks for sharing it. Video tutorial needs somehow to get used to it ;-)
Folded it from the crease pattern only and it looks pretty good-but mine is opposite yours! I wonder if the video reverses the folds from the CP? Thanks Maria!
Hi, Jean! Yes, it looks like that! Here is Evi’s original rendition of the box:
I’m also pretty sure that I folded my very first test version of it from the crease pattern too, when Evi just uploaded it. I didn’t even notice that the video reverses the folds)) Thanks for pointing that out.
Since I folded one, I surely will enjoy folding many more!
great fun! thanks!
Very nice box. I folded it and I love it. Tnx.
Maria you just did an amazing job! really outstanding
This video will not play in the United States :(
I love this design! It turns out looking so darn cool!!
