3. Fold the square in half and crease using the bone folder, then open.

4. Fold the right and left edges to the centerline and open (figure A). This should provide four vertical panels, 2 inches wide. Name the lines starting with the left edge and moving right A,B,C,D,E.

5. Fold the lower right corner E to line D approximately 4-1/2 inches from the top edge, making sure that the lower left point of this triangle is right on line C, crease and open.

6. Measure 1-1/4 inches from the top edge and fold down. Mark with a scoring implement to get a nice clean crease. Let’s call this first horizontal line, "line #1."

7. Make a second horizontal line 3-1/4 inches below the first and crease. Refer to this as "line #2."

8. Fold the bottom edge up to "line #2" crease and open; and now we have "line #3."

9. Fold left edge A to line C.

11. Fold square in half--left edge A matches with right edge E.

12. Fold corner C to "line #3" crease and open.

13. Fold right edge E to line C crease and open.

14. Fold lower corner D to "line #3" crease and open. Now there are three overlapping triangular folds. Next, make another shorter fold by placing "line #2" on top of like DE, crease and open.

15. All of the folds we’ve made so far are referred to in origami language as "valley folds" because they essentially make a "V" shape. The next step is to change lines B, C, and D below "line #2" into what are called "mountain or peak" folds.

16. Fold lower left corner A to "line #3" and crease.

18. Fold the last little triangle on the bottom right inward. This completes unit one.

19. Repeat another unit as it takes two units to finish the lid (figure D). This type of origami is often called "unit or modular" origami because two or more identical pieces are required to complete each piece.

20. Once you have completed the second unit, tuck the last panel of unit one into the first panel of unit two twice (figure E), and your lid is finished (figure F).
