*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.
(Diagram A)
The smaller number is the measurement from the center of any side to the center of the opposite
side. (Diagram B)

| 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.
One of these boxes (on the left) has a lid made from six units of the same paper, all folded with the front side of the paper dominant. The base has been made in a similar manner but from a different type of paper.
For the other box (at right), all the units have been folded with the front side of the paper dominant, but two different types of paper have been alternated -- one with a pink color scheme and one with a blue color scheme. The same two types of paper have been used in the base, but with the reverse side of the paper 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 here. You might also experiment with making the base from sheets trimmed a little smaller than those used for the lid. |
