*Note that two numbers are given for the size of the lid and two for the size of the base.
The larger number is the measurement from a point at any corner to the point at the opposite corner.

| Comments: | These boxes are both beautiful and sturdy. The tops of the lids and the bottoms of the bases are equally lovely, with an iris effect at the center.
Double-sided paper is essential for this box style because so much of the reverse side of the paper is exposed in the finished model.
Here each lid has been made from six identical units folded with the patterned side of the paper dominant, and each base has been made from six identical units folded with the solid-color side dominant.
The designer suggests making both lid and base from paper sheets of the same size. This results in a very snug fit, especially if somewhat thicker paper is used.
If the fit is a bit too snug, try bending the sides of the base slightly inward, as I have done with these two boxes.
You might also experiment with making the base from sheets trimmed a little smaller than those used for the lid. |
