By just joining the same units differently you will find that new patternsappear like magic. Here are two such patterns, and a third, a combinationof the first two.
Both folding and joining are very simple. We use four units. Let us firstfold the units as follows.

Now fet us make lids for the boxes we have made. As with the boxes, twodifferent lid patterns can be made from the same units, and theircombination makes a third pattern. The outside patterns of the lids match
those of the boxes.The joining of the third pattern is not illustrated, but it is the same asthe joining of the lightning-patterned box on p. 23.

 Ordinary boxes have no designs on the bottom or insidetheir lids, but with unit origami you can make boxes withthese wonderful patterns on inner surfaces. The pleasureon first seeing these charming little boxes increases whenyou look inside! This delight in finding unexpectedpatterns is the result af unit origami.

These illustrations show at a glance how triangle boxes of different sizes arefolded. By changing folding lines you can change the depth of the box, and thusmake boxes of four different sizes, large, medium, small and midget, all ofwhich can be neatly placed one inside another. This is done without cutting thepaper, and the folding involves no such ambiguity as sliding a folding line just a |little. Triangle boxes made from square pieces of paper, boxes that can becontained one inside another, such are the wonders of origami!
Folding of ‘Midget’ is not shown here. The method Is similar to the smallbox. You can make it without difficulty.
