It is SO EASY to make a box!!

I like to use this light-weight chipboard for making my boxes. The chipboard is the same weight and thickness that you usually find Cereal Boxes are made out of.

TO MAKE A BOX:

Start out by cutting out 2 pieces of light weight chipboard. One of the pieces needs to be 1/16” SMALLER on 2 sides.

Using a Score-Board, make “Score Lines” at the 1” Mark on ALL 4 SIDES of each piece of light weight chipboard.

With a pair of scissors, trim little “tabs” into each corner of the chipboard as shown below:

Then, fold in all 4 sides of each of the chipboard pieces and glue/tape the tabs into place:

Check out this fun box which is great for storage, gifts, or just for fun!!!

Check out this idea using decorative paper for the the top piece!! I love this fun sheer ribbon to go with it!!

For this box, I made a top and bottom using the same piece of double-sided card stock. I used the die cut machine to die-cut a circle in the front of the little box and a piece of Acetate to make a little window!

Check out this idea using the same concept of the little window, but I made it Easter themed by adding the little bunny on the front of the box and added raffia and little chocolates on the inside!!
