Origami Modular Square Box Step 9: We'll start by assembling 2 of the units. Modular origami is often assembled by inserting the tip of a unit into a pocket. This is what we'll do here as well.

Insert the tip all the way into the pocket (you may have to pry open the paper) and your modular box will start to take shape like below:

Origami Modular Square Box Step 10: We're not done with those 2 units yet. After taking care of the box exterior, we now need to complete the assembly for the interior of the box. Once again, we'll be tucking a tip into a pocket.

Zooming in so you can see the tip going into the pocket.... Lift up and pry open the paper so that the tip can be inserted into the pocket.

Now we turn our attention to the inside of the box. While we were taking care of the box exterior, some of the assembly on the inside may have come loose. Don't worry, we'll just take care of it right now.
