Do you like strawberry or chocolate pocky better? I didn't have the strength to choose! the result: this box took doubly long because I wanted it double sided. Overall the construction is pretty easy, but it takes time if you want everything PERFECT. It's easiest make the box while looking at a picture, Google one for reference. Complete this project by painting your pencils like pocky!
