if you have no origami paper, then you will you will have to use some other kind of paper. And chances are, that paper will not be square. 1. So first, Fold a corner down to the edge of the paper until both edges are flush with each other. 2. then, cut along the bottom edge of the fold.

This is a bit iffy. For the bottom flap, fold it halfway up. then, fold it so it is sitting flush to the side, and tuck it into the flap made in the previous step. repeat for all of the other, but

You do not really have to do this now, and it would be probably better to do it later, but if you want, fold both the top and bottom up to the middle and back.

Unfold the entire cube like in the below picture, then blow into a small hole in the top to inflate it. Done! Now get creative! Perhaps... a Paper Companion Cube?!
