The Star Box is a traditional model with a moment of origami magic in the final step, when you transform a flat shape into a perfect three-dimensional form.

This model is ideal for teaching to beginners when you are ready to introduce several fundamentals of origami to your students: making a preliminary base, easy squash folds and of course the opening out of the model to make the 3d box. It is especially effective with patterned paper and paper with a different colour on each side.
