Ringed Cube Origami Tutorial

 

Hello, paper-folding enthusiasts!

If you’ve ever been curious about modular origami or simply enjoy crafting with paper, you’re in for a treat. In this free tutorial, I’ll be walking you through the steps to create a beautiful ringed cube—a charming and versatile piece that’s perfect for adding a personal touch to your home decor, accessories, or even gifts.

The ringed cube is made from six square sheets of paper, and it’s surprisingly easy to fold, making it perfect for beginners looking to try their hand at modular origami. If you’re new to this form of paper art, don’t worry—this project is beginner-friendly and I’ll break down each step clearly so you can follow along without feeling overwhelmed. It’s a fun and rewarding project that can be customized in so many ways, depending on the color and paper patterns you choose.

This origami cube is incredibly versatile. When finished, it can be used as hanging decor, adding a quirky geometric element to your space, or even as a keychain, bag charm, or phone charm—ideal if you use sturdy paper. For those looking to go the extra mile, the ringed cube also makes a fantastic base for earrings—just use smaller square sheets to create a delicate version. The possibilities are endless!

As for color choices, the design works beautifully in a single solid color, but it also shines when made with patterned paper or a mix of different colors. You could opt for six distinct hues, create a cohesive look with three different colors (two sheets of each), or even experiment with patterns and prints. No matter how you customize it, this ringed cube is sure to be an eye-catching project that you'll want to show off.

So, grab your paper and let’s get folding! Whether you're crafting for yourself or making a thoughtful handmade gift, I’m sure you’ll love the process—and the final result. Let’s dive into the step-by-step video instructions!
