Packing my holiday origami things reminded me that I want to make more sparkly paper cubes. I learned how to make the Fujimoto Cube in 2018 and then played around with other regular shapes like hexagons. Hexagon boxes are fun to make and just require dimensions of a 30-60-90 triangle to get the spiral folds right. To make a hexagon box, start with paper that measures 10 7/8 x 9.5 inches. Yesterday (January 4, 2023) I decided to try a pentagon as well. It is a bit more challenging as there are an uneven number of sides, but with a bit of modification pentagonal prisms can also be folded. The pentagon can be made with paper that measures 6 x 9 inches. You need to trim off the top and bottom corners on the right as shown in the diagram. Below are the diagrams I created and some images of the finished boxes. I hope you will try making them for yourself. (Sparkly paper looks great, but any card stock weight paper will do.)
All three types of prisms.
