Curved Side Box

This box was shared on a FB group to which I belong. The only measurements given were that the box was 8 cm all around. As I cannot wrap my head around centimeters, I forged ahead in inches to see if I could make this box.



The box turned out so cute! 

Here are my directions:

CS 6" x 8 1/2"

  • Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", and 8"
  • Score on the short side at 2" and 4"
  • Fold on all the score lines
  • On the long side, cut up on all the score lines to the intersecting score line - do this on both sides
  • Trim the first 2" section and the third 2" section in half to create the tabs needed for the box (see picture below)
  • Use a curved edge (I used a ribbon spool) to trace onto the second and fourth 2" sections - this will give you the sides of the box

  • Also trim the 1/2" section in half - I forgot to do this before taking the picture above
  • Place adhesive on the tab sections and create the box - the first and second 2" section will be the lid - below is the picture of what the box will look like once the tabs are in place



I hope you like this box. It was a fun one to make.

Have a great day!
