Fold-up Box Tutorial
Mar 15th, 2010 by Craftylocks
fold-up-box1 For a square box, start with a square piece of paper. If you want an oblong box then start with an oblong piece of paper.
fold-up-box2 Cut a square out of each corner, each square needs to be the same size. The bigger you make the square the deeper the box will be.
fold-up-box3 Punch a hole in each of the corners.
fold-up-box4 Fold each side up.
fold-up-box5 Thread the pieces of ribbon through the holes and tie bows to join the sides together.
fold-up-box6 If you wish, add a handle by gluing a strip of matching paper to the insides of the box.

Fold-up Box
Mar 10th, 2010 by Craftylocks

fold-up_box-filledThis can be made any size and for putting all sorts of things in. I have made this one for an Easter bunny to be sitting in waiting for someone to discover him. To make the box start with a square and then cut four equal squares from each corner. Punch holes each corner and then fold the sides up and tie the sides together with ribbon through the holes. If you wish you can also decorate the edges of the box with glitter or some different paper, as I have done. This could easily be made into a basket with a handle attached.
