Tuck the corners under the existing flaps to secure the module into a parallelogram shape.
Making a paper cube is a classic origami project that can be approached in two primary ways: using a of paper to create an inflatable "water bomb" cube or using six sheets for a sturdy "modular" cube . Both methods require square paper and sharp creases to ensure the final shape is crisp and holds together without tape or glue. Method 1: The Inflatable Water Bomb Cube How to Make a Paper Cube Using Origami
: Take the small loose flaps at the top and tuck them into the little pockets you just created in the previous step. Repeat on all four sides. Tuck the corners under the existing flaps to
: Push the horizontal creases together so the paper collapses into a layered triangle. This is the standard "water bomb base". Method 1: The Inflatable Water Bomb Cube :
Fold the ends of the parallelogram into triangles to create a square unit with two triangular flaps. Make five more identical units. :
: On the top layer, fold the two bottom corners up to the top peak of the triangle. Flip the paper and repeat on the other side to form a diamond shape.
The final piece will tuck into the remaining open pockets to complete the 3D structure. How to Fold Origami Paper Cubes
