Comments:These cute self-closing triangular boxes do not have a separate lid and base. The whole structure of each box is formed from a single rectangular sheet of paper.
 
Although any type of paper may be used, I find that stiffer paper -- like TANT or scrapbook paper -- works best for this model.
 
I like to hang this type of box on a holiday tree. In that case, stiffer paper will provide better support for whatever little gift or treat I might tuck inside.
 
Double-sided paper is great for boxes like these because some of the reverse side of the paper is revealed on their exterior, and a lot of the reverse side is revealed when these boxes are opened.
 
The opening mechanism is very simple. On each box, one of the triangular faces has a small notch in its corner where you can insert your fingernail and gently pull to extract a flap out of a slit-like pocket.
 
Closing this type of box involves reinserting the flap into the little slit-like pocket and gently pushing it all the way inside.
 
No glue is required for the assembly of this model, but a few dabs of glue or some double-sided tape is necessary to secure the ribbon loop.
