Introduction
A box is a container with a flat base and sides that form a shape with six straight sides and right angles. Boxes are commonly used for storing, transporting, or packaging items.
Material
- Cardstock or thick paper
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Glue or tape
Steps
- Start by measuring and cutting out a square or rectangle from the cardstock. This will be the base of your box.
- Score along the lines where you will fold the cardstock to create the sides of the box. Use a ruler and a pencil to make light creases along these lines.
- Cut out four smaller rectangles from the cardstock to create the sides of the box. The height of these rectangles will determine the height of your box.
- Fold along the scored lines to create the sides of the box. Apply glue or tape to the edges of the rectangles and attach them to the base of the box.
- Fold the flaps on the sides of the box and secure them with glue or tape to close the box.
- You can decorate the box with additional embellishments such as ribbons, stickers, or drawings.
