Re: Paper

[yagowe]

Why is it that I can fold a piece of paper into all manner of intricate creature, but cannot fold paper around a box without making a complete bollocks of it?

That makes no sese at all. Perhaps you could create and origami "box" that you slid the actual box into and sealed?

[winterlion]

Well since origami is wrapping paper around shapes and into it, perhaps there's some form that contains a box-sized space?

Or perhaps consider the box a special class of that handy table meant for helping fold origami...
(well such ARE sometimes helpful)

or maybe just a special class of paper mache :)

Well, I can wrap a box beautifully, and fail dismally at every bit of origami I attempt, so I'd theorize that they're two completely different skills.

Who knows?

I gave up on wrapping things years ago

Use the entire roll and oragami the box.
