Does anyone know of a box that the Kawasaki rose might fit on top of? I think it would look pretty cool.

Thanks

Do you mean something like this?



That´s a traditional masu where I first folded the borders inwards two times (1/32 & 1/16) to get spikes at the corners of the paper and then blintzed to bring the spikes to the middle. This method should work for a lot of other boxes as well, just try.

Thank you that helps. One question though, is the rose locked on top of the box?

Thanks

Yes it is, therefore I made the spikes.

Congratulations Anna, that's a precious box. I have seen (and done some myself) masu variations with some nice things on top, but from all of them, yours is my favorite

Thanks, but it´s really nothing special.

Anna why don't you try this box out:

Hexagonal Rose Box

The diagrams can be found on the internet.

Today I tried to do this wonderful box, but without success. The rose needs some free paper on the bottom and here it is connected to the rest of the square. Also is the color change made by doing a valley fold to reveal the underside, so you work with a 2 layer paper all the time?

Where can I find the diagrams, please ?
I'm very curious about this box.
Thanks.

Hi Brimestone,

are you talking about the Anna Kawaski rose box? or the Hexagonal Rose Box I posted here. If the Hexagonal Rose Box, there is no dual layers folding--it's pretty straight forward.

Hi Gardin, unfortunately I have lost the link to the source of the file.

Hmmm..... I searched and found something that others on this forum were searchiing for. It is the hexigonal star box

Here

By the way, I did not find this box either, maybe Brimstone, do you know where it is?
This is a really cool box and I would love to fold it.

I am contacting the author, in a few days if she agrees, I will host it on my website.

-enjoy folding

I meant Anna's box.

I have been trying to fold it. you have to closely look at her picture. The rose has most of its petals, but not all of them otherwise it would be impossible to incorporate it into a masu box.

I'll keep trying

Brimstone, I think you understood something wrong. Anna's box is a 2-piece model. The Masubox is modified to create spikes in the middle which can be used to connect it with a normally folded Kawasaki rose. It holds together pretty well

I get it now It was too good to be true. Anyone up to the challenge? Even without the color change would be terrific
