Hi guys,
Greetings, i hope 2023 is treating you good. I have been wanting to share this post with you. It’s something I learnt when I was in junior high school three. I won’t lie I forgot completely how to make it so it took me another two days to remember completely. Today I will be showing you how to make a box using card board paper.
Like I have done in my previous tutorials, this is undoubtedly the easiest one you can do. But it can also be used at homes as a container and can keep small objects in place. For this, we will only need a piece of paper. Depending on how big you want the box, it will require a big piece of paper.
So the bigger you want the box to be the bigger the paper you need. The smaller you want the box, then you use a small paper. I just want a medium sized box so I will be using a medium sized paper. Now let’s dive into the steps.
Step 1
Pick the piece of paper and fold it from the top to the bottom. See image below
Step 2
Now fold the paper from the right side to the left side. See image below
Step 3
Open the paper and you should see a line dividing the whole paper in the middle
Step 4
Pick the left side of the paper and fold it to a triangle. See image below
Step 5
Take the right side of the triangle in step 4 to the left. Repeat the same process for the right hand side to form a triangle. See image below.
Step 6
Take one side of the triangle and fold it to the middle do this for the other side. See image below
Step 7
Turn to the other side and repeat step 6 here. See image below
Step 8
Now folder the inner corners of what he just did upward, do this for the other side too. See image below.
Step 9
Turn the whole thing and repeat step 8 here. See image below.
Step 10
Fold the bottom upwards for both sides. like you see in the image below.
Step 11
Now this is the tricky part. Take the triangles we made in step 8 and tuck them in the other triangle. Do this for the other side. See image below.
Step 12
Turn the whole thing and repeat step 11. See image below
Step 13
Now open it. You should have made your box. But you need to use your fingers to straighten out the edges. This box can be used at homes like I said to store smaller objects like the image below.
I would like to know if you would like to try it at home and what you think about it. Thank you for your support.

I love making things with paper. You can put them in your room and it looks really neat. This is really an easy one to make like you said.
I might try making it with a coloured paper using your tutorial.
It looks even nicer with the colored paper. I would love to see how yours look like.
I’ve been looking for Colored papers but I don’t seem to get some around my place.
They are difficult to get unless the big book shops in town. That’s why I just color them myself.
