Comments:Pentagonal boxes are a little easier to make than hexagons or octagons, although more difficult than squares.
 
Double-sided paper produces the best looking pentagons, although single-sided paper can also be used effectively for some styles.
 
The craft paper used for the bases of these boxes was a little too soft and floppy for the purpose. Next time, I will use a stiffer paper for the bases, as I did for the lids.
