Follow these simple steps to make your own paper box:
- Print out the template (the image above) on a sheet of cardstock or other sturdy paper.
- Cut out along the solid lines to create the main box shape.
- Score along the dotted lines using a scoring tool or the back of a butter knife. This will make it easier to fold the box into shape.
- Using a glue stick or double-sided tape, fold the box along the scored lines and seal the flaps together to create the box shape.
- Decorate your box with markers, stickers, or washi tape to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
And voila! You now have a beautiful custom paper box that you can use for all sorts of things. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Store small items like paperclips, buttons, or jewelry in your box to keep them organized and easy to find.
- Use your paper box as a gift box - fill it with candy, small trinkets or other goodies and give it to a friend!
- Use your box as a decorative piece - stack several together to create a unique display on your bookshelf or coffee table.
