Make a Little Paper Box...

Follow the video step-by-step to make these cute boxes!

Thanks to Nial for the very good question about how to make the bottom half of the box smaller so the top fits well.

The answer is simple:

Make the square of paper for the bottom a little smaller than the top by trimming it by about half a centimetre or so on two sides. You will then have a slightly smaller square.

Then draw the diagonal lines and follow the instructions as for the top half of the box.

This is important if you are using card. If you are using ‘ordinary’ paper you can usually get the two halves to fit together even if they are the same size.
