I made a lot more versions of the lid design but whilst experimenting, had ruined quite a few. there are so many things you could do with it. I put a photo of the ones I like at the end of the video and a photo is also below.

Origami Gifts To Make
If your paper is thick you'll need to make the paper you use for the lower box a little shorter, 1 cm is what I took off. You can also just fold this over instead of cutting, which would actually make the raw edge of the side nice too.
The height of the box can be decided whilst folding.
You can buy the scoring tool I used, here.
Paper used: I haven't been able to find it online, it's described as ‘metallic pearlized embossed paper'.
