DIY paper box

I've had a few requests for a tutorial on how to make paper boxes. So, at last, here it is:









You don't have to glue it, but it stays together a bit better if you do.






Make them out of whatever paper is handy. I'm going to attempt to make one out of newspaper for a Christmas present I'm wrapping (some homemade fudge, if you were wondering. That'll need a whole post of its own, of course). I'll let you know how it goes.


[If you're wondering why you only ever see one hand, it's because I was holding the camera remote with the other hand. If I only had one hand, I'd make much more of a big deal out of it. Making the things I make using only one hand would be far more impressive. Anyway, enough of that.]

  5. Thank you!!! I looked on so many sites to find something easy. It was so hard to find someone that broke down the steps. I just tried it and it was so easy. These are perfect for me to put my homemade buckeye candy's in!!!
