Draw out the design on the paper. Here is the template we used. An alternate is to simply print the template on coloured paper, but the size would be a little smaller.
Carefully cut the design and crease the lines.
- Flip the sheet and paste the embellishments. If you would like to add a window (blue one in the images), cut a rectangle on the largest rectangles. - Cut a small line on the long rectangle, which forms the front of the box. This is where the flap from the opposite side will go in.
Fold in the flaps and use them paste the edges.
Tip: To make a window in the box, cut a small rectangle on one side before any of the edges have been pasted. But, measure it out first, so that it doesn’t cover the flap of the box.
