box with ribbon/bow

[abnyc]

I know I've seen this before, but can't remember whose it is. Basically, it looks like a wrapped present: a cube with a false ribbon crossing on top in a bow. I believe it's 1-piece, and does not open. Anyone know it?

This is one I found previously on the Japanese Origami Forums.
but the original post seems like it got deleted(old posts get automatically deleted) so I don't know who the author is, unfortunately.


Also, I found Photo Diagrams on a Chinese site. (The site might take a bit of time to load)

Not the one I've seen, but looks interesting nonetheless. Thanks.

Any tips on getting from



to



? Basically step #1/4 in the upper right box of that hand-drawn diagram.

For that particular photo-diagram, I think it's just a mountain fold. (at a 45-degree angle)

Oh yeah, duh. I was way overthinking that.

At risk of asking another obvious question, what is going on here?

[abnyc]

Anyone have any ideas? If I mess with it much more I'm going to have to start from the beginning for a 3rd try.

Thanks!

It looks to me like that's just an intermediate step showing the collapse.

I'll have to take a photo of the interior preceding that step, because it's all pleated in on itself, and I can't seem to pull out that central stripe without undoing all that pleating, and thus undoing the previous few steps.

The point of the step itself is to narrow the top of that stripe to a triangle so that the flaps can tuck beneath it while staying out of the way of the bow...
