Starbox Tutorial

February 11th, 2010 by Craftylocks

	Start with a square piece of paper. Make four folds across the paper.
	Bring the top and bottom corners together and tuck in the other two sides.
	With the opening at the top, fold one side along to the central fold.
	Open up the flap and press it open.
	Tuck the side of the flap under itself.
	Now do the same to the other flap on that side, turn it over and repeat on the other side.
	Fold the four flaps down as far as you can.
	Pull the flaps open and push the bottom of the star box against a table, using your hand inside the box to make the shape.
	Wow – beautiful, now it just needs to be filled with treats or a present for someone!

Hi Amanda,
It is great when something that looks quite complicated actually works out to be easier to make than you think. My daughter made one last night to pop some little treats in for her student teacher who finishes today. A cool thing for her to say she made.
Regards,

Hi Kaz,
I am glad you are having fun with this idea – and you have just reminded me that we are supposed to be making the star boxes for Easter Bunny to leave treats in too! Now I know what we are doing this afternoon:-).
Have a great Easter,
Sarah (aka Craftylocks)
