Because you should never pay $5 for something that's going to be thrown away.
This may look fancy, but it's really all based off of 8 simple folds. If there's any step you're stuck on, leave me a comment, and I'll try to help you out!

Step 1Start out with 2 sheets of computer paper. Make the largest square possible out of each one, and put everything but one square aside.
-
Step 2Fold the corners together, and unfold
-
Step 3Fold two opposite corners into the center
-
Step 4Then fold those folds into the center.
-
Step 5Unfold.
-
Step 6Do the same to the other two corners
-
Step 7Unfold again!
-
Step 8See that group of 4 squares in the center that my fingers are outlining? That will be the bottom of the box. You can outline them in pencil if that'll help.
-
Step 9Fold a corner over along the "bottom" edge, and crease hard (you'll be tearing soon)
-
Step 10Tear these four lines, only until you reach the "bottom" square.
-
Step 11Fold.
-
Step 12Fold.
-
Step 13Fold, fold, fold.
-
Step 14Hold the two pointy tabs together so they form kind of one continuous side.
-
Step 15Then fold the long strip over, and....
-
Step 16...down, to secure the two pointy things.
-
Step 17Do the same for the other side, and then fold your other square the same way to make a lid.
Note: it doesn't really matter that the lid is the same size as the bottom-- it's paper, so most likely the lid will fit on fine (I've never had problems with that anyhow)
-
Step 18Make a bow!
Remember those two rectangles we have left over? Cut those each into four thin strips.
-
Step 19Simple loopy bow shape. Glue the ends in place.
-
Step 20Stack them!
-
Step 21Glue them onto the lid!
Experiment with the bow too-- the possibilities are virtually endless!
