Materials needed: two pieces of rectangular paper (just cut a square piece of paper in half), solid glue, scissors, and pencil. Compass

1. The tutorial for origami mooncake box is as follows:

1. Fold one end of a rectangular paper up about 1cm, divide the remaining part into three equal parts, and then Then fold the whole paper in half, and finally unfold the paper to get the crease (you don’t need to unfold the folded 1cm).

2. Fold the rectangle in half and unfold it to get the crease.

3. Turn the paper to the back, take the unfolded end, fold the corners of the first two small rectangles to the left, align the corners with the crease of the first small rectangle, and then unfold.

4. Turn the paper over to the back, take the first small rectangle as an example, fold it upward along its diagonal, and turn the diagonal of each remaining small rectangle towards Fold it out in one direction.

5. When the fold is 1cm, take the last two small rectangles and repeat the third step.

6. Fold the side without crease in half.

7. Collect the edges according to the creases obtained in the previous six steps. When you reach the last corner, insert it inside, and then tuck the edge into the other edge to fix it. You need to adjust it yourself when inserting. Once half of the mooncake box is ready, make another identical one and embed one inside the other to form a complete mooncake box.

2. The tutorial for origami mooncakes is as follows:

1. Use a compass to draw two circles of the same size on the rectangular paper (I used a bottle cap instead of a compass to draw it here. If you don’t have a compass, you can use local materials), use a pencil to draw a round lace, you can draw a smiley face inside the circle, and then use scissors to cut it out according to the handwriting.

2. Take a long strip and fold it into three equal parts. Use scissors to cut the left and right sides into raw edges, then enclose a circle, fix the opening with solid glue, and gather the raw edges on both sides.

3. Coat two circles with solid glue and stick them to the completed circles, one on each side. An origami mooncake is ready.

The editor reminds that the size and height of the origami mooncakes must be made according to the size of the origami mooncake box you have made, otherwise it will be embarrassing if the mooncakes cannot be placed in the box.
