Countdown until our anniversary

Homeschooling Adventures at the Maxwell's Saturday, June 7, 2008 CRAFT - Paper Box Posted in CRAFT CORNER The craft I'm demonstrating this week is easy and economical.  There is only one thing needed, a square piece of paper, any size and any color.  You can use something you already have lying around; extra scrapbooking sheets, comic books, wrapping paper, even paper you've painted. Get a piece of paper that you like, then flip it over so the side you want to show is down.  If the paper is not already square, you'll need to that first.    Now, fold it in half both ways so you have a center point, lay flat again. Fold down a corner so that it meets the center point. Fold the other corners into the center. Fold in two sides so that they reach the middle. Unfold the two sides completely, leave the other two corners folded in. Fold in the two sides to the middle, and let them flap out again. Pinch both sides of the fold - the pinches should be on a natural fold. Bring the end right over the top.  Do the same to the other side and tuck it in neatly. Now all you have to do is fill your box.  If you want a lid, just do the above steps again with a slightly larger piece of paper. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments
