small box with lid made from large piece of paper

[penelopeep]

hi there,

im a university student and at the moment we are making books. my book is made out of one sheet of A0 size paper cut in a square spiral fashion and folded in a concertina way to create a book the size of A6.

what im wanting to do it use another copy of the A0 sheet and make a box for the book without cutting or gluing at all so that the box can be opened up to reveal the layout of the book it encases.

i cant quite work out how to do it so i badly need some help.

if it makes it easier i can ratio it down for you. its like having an A4 piece of paper and folding it in half 5 times. the A4 represents the A0 and it folded five times represents the A6 book. and the book is about 4-5cm thick.

id like to have a box with an attached lid made entirely out of this one sheet of paper. it can be a sideways sleeve or a just a normal box with a lid. or just some sort of opening closing feature. anything really.

thanks for any input you can give.

Obviously it is possible to do this, but in my case it would take quite some work to figure it out. I hope some one those volunteer to help you out .
