| Comments: | This lidless, star-shaped box was made from a single hexagonal piece of paper, cut from a 22 cm (8.7 in) square sheet.
Double-sided paper works best for this style of box. The Usborne paper used here is ideal because it features a colorful pattern on one side and a complementary or contrasting solid color on the reverse.
This paper is also a good weight for the model -- thin enough to fold crisply but stiff enough to hold the hex-star shape.
Cute boxes like this one are perfect as party favors, or you can create little lanterns by inserting small, battery-operated tea lights in these stars -- but never use real candles due to fire hazard. |
