How to make an origami box in the shape of a cat
You will need a large amount of colored paper, scissors and double-sided tape. To fold one product, you need to prepare two squares: 15x15 cm and 7.5x7.5 cm (0). First we make the body of the cat, and then we move on to making the head.
1. Take a larger sheet, fold it twice, first in half, then diagonally.

Insert your fingers into each half and straighten the paper, gradually bending it down.

In the lower part crafts you have two points, bend the paper to them as shown in the figure. After that, hide it inside.

And again, focusing on the resulting width.
![Origami paper box in the shape of a cat](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/20/982-bumazhnaya-korobochka-origami-v-vide-kotika.jpg)
Repeat the action with the right half of the craft. Then turn it over and perform similar manipulations.

Don't forget that the triangles at the bottom in the middle must be hidden (see step 10).
12. At the top of the triangle, make two folds towards the center.
![Origami paper box in the shape of a cat](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/20/984-bumazhnaya-korobochka-origami-v-vide-kotika.jpg)
There is no need to try to connect the edges with the middle line; they should be located at a short distance from it.
13. Grab the top of the triangle and fold the paper first up, straighten it, and then down. This way you will have two folds (indicated by arrows).
