Level: ★★★★☆

You will need:

  • 1 sheet of Square paper (thickness: can be thin or thick)
  • Glue (if you want)

Large size: (the blue + purple boxes)
29.7 x 29.7 cm (A3)
Finished size: 8 x 8 x 2.8 cm

Smaller Size: (the pink and patterned boxes)
20 x 20 cm
Finished size: 5.4 x 5.4 x 2 cm

The strawberry patterned on was 30 x 30 cm (ish)

Make sure to watch the ending of the video if you had any trouble with the hinge.. Use big paper that’s at least 20 x 20 cm or larger. Thick paper is better but not a requirement.

If your lid springs open and refuses to stay shut, the folds may need to be adjusted. You can also fill the box, close it and sandwich it in between books on a shelf. After a day or so, the box will probably be better at staying shut.
