1 Start with a square piece of paper. If you made a square from a rectangular piece of paper, you may have a diagonal crease. If so, you can try to smooth it out. However, you can ignore this crease as it will not affect the appearance of the finished product.

2 Fold the paper in half vertically and horizontally. Both folds should form "valley" folds. Make a clear crease and unfold the paper.

3 Bend all corners so that they meet in the center.

4 Fold the paper horizontally and vertically, this time making "mountain" folds. Make clear folds and unfold the paper.

5 Flip the paper over and flip it over so that one corner is facing you.

6 Take the left and right corners and fold them to the center. Align them in one corner and fold the second corner from the top.

7 Make sure you press down on the folds of the square well enough. It is advisable to use fingernails, a pencil, or other sturdy object to press down on the folds.

8 Unfold the two flaps at the top of the square and pull them out.

9 Pull the flaps and align them. They should form a rectangle. Repeat the last two steps on the other side of the workpiece.

10 Take the top flap on the right and fold it over so it is on the other side of the paper.

11 Flip the paper over to the other side and repeat these steps.

12 Rotate the paper so that the apex of the triangle points up.

13 Fold each side inward so that they connect to the center fold.

14 Flip the paper over to the other side and repeat the steps.

15 Fold down the large flap at the top of the sheet of paper so that the tip reaches the bottom. Repeat this on each side of the paper.

16 Lift up the shape and take the flaps that you folded down in the previous step. Arrange them so they stick out and pull them to open the box. Bend the inner folds outward to keep the shape open. Small items such as small candies can now be added to the finished Sanbo box.
