Box Container
Turn your card paper into a box container with these steps
-
Step 1
Choose your paper. Think about the purpose of the box. If this is a gift or a decorative item, use patterned or colored paper. -
Step 2
Fold the paper in half. If using patterned paper, make sure the pattern is on the inside. -
Step 3
Fold each corner into the center. You should start with the paper patterned side down, folding each corner to reveal the pattern side of the paper. -
Step 4
Fold the two side edges to the center fold. The newly folded sections should be folded down on top of the corner folds you just made in step 3. -
Step 5
Fold the top and the bottom of the rectangle to the center. The folds should be on top of the folds made in step 4. The shape will now be a square again. -
Step 6
Unfold the paper. Rotate the paper so that the point is facing up. Fold the right and left edges back towards the center on the already creased fold. You are not making a new fold. -
Step 7
Lift the paper along the vertical creases. This should make two sides of the box. You may have to crease it again along the folds. -
Step 8
Push the paper inward directly next to the sides. -
Step 9
Fold the two remaining sections over the box edge. The points should fit perfectly into the bottom of the box. Your box is now ready for use.
