One of my funny money boxes. |
I had him teach me how to fold these little boxes and I hit the ground running. I have made boxes by the hundred and I especially have fun making them nest.
Several years ago I made a set of 20 that all nested inside each other for a friend's birthday. The largest started with a 12 x 12 piece of heavy card stock scrapbook paper and the smallest started with just a few inches of wrapping paper...the light weight of the wrapping paper made for easier folding.
It's pretty clear that I wasn't worried at the time about them coordinating....they're just a bunch of random patterns...most of them from old calendars. Several of the boxes are from my "Sun Stars and Moon" calendar.
Here is a link to some instructions I found on line...but I do it a little differently. I find the middle by using a ruler corner to corner and drawing an X on the back side. I don't want that folded X on the top of my box. I would be happy to show better instructions if anyone is interested...just let me know.
They are all tucked neatly inside. |
