I like making boxes from single sheets of paper. For one thing, they are quite economical and for another, you can just grab a piece of paper and start working on the box!

This pentagonal box is designed by Rikki Donachie and is made from a single A4 sheet of paper. It is quite easy to fold. I folded the base such that the height was a little more than the lid. Otherwise, both base and lid were the same.

The butterfly for today is designed by Rikki Donachie. What I liked most about this butterfly is how beautiful and natural the wings came out. If you stick the body of the butterfly to a wall, the wings make it seem that the butterfly is really flying :) Loved it!

This butterfly looks great when using paper in contrasting colours on both sides. In that case, the butterfly wings would be in one colour and the rest of the butterfly in the contrasting colour.
