I love origami and paper boxes and I admire those who are able to create them because, unfortunately, I'm totally unable...I'm not able to do either a paper boat or a paper airplane!
This project, taken from an original that I found at home, is one of the few that I can do..hoping to learn soon to build new boxes.

Download this graphic: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n67/cri00/GRAFICO00.jpg
Can be printed or traced on a paper from the PC screen.
I did it measured about 8.3 inches wide and 9 inches in height but may be smaller or larger..isn't important.
Black areas are the sides to be cut. Red and pink are the parts to be fold.

With a pen draw the graphic on a cardboard and marks all the important points.
3
Cuts the outlines of the graphic and the four pieces of the base. Creates holes that will serve to close the pyramid
4
Bend the pink lines (shorter ones) to the outside bend of the chart and the red lines (longer ones) to the inside
5
Join the two outer sides of the chart with glue and close the pyramid.
To keep it together I used a cute scotch to give a nice and "stellar" effect.
6
Order indicated by the numbers, put the pieces of the base and close the bottom of the pyramid.
7
Join the bent parts to form a star and close the top of the pyramid with the strip of fabric
