To make an origami blow-up box, start with a square of origami paper and fold it in half to make a diamond shape, then fold it the opposite way. Open it up and push in on both sides to form a triangle, then fold the flaps on each side so they meet in the middle. Fold in the four points so they meet the center line, then pinch one point to create an opening and push the flap above it inside to prevent it from coming out, repeating for the other three points. Blow into one end to inflate the box.
