It's great to learn by doing (and you probably learned a great deal!), although it can take a bit longer. <br /><br />I'm interested in this particular box because I found it takes only a couple hours rather than five or six like the more traditional clamshells and candy boxes.<br /><br />Always happy to be credited and linked to.

So nice to have a plain, simple tutorial post to look at. This was not how I went about building my box - I tried to be "clever" and do it by scoring the boards and folding away from the score-lines. It worked until I tried to cover it with paper... then it began to collapse. <br />I worked it all out in the end, but will follow your instructions and try doing it "properly"! <br />Many thanks - I'll look out for the next part. <br />(I will link to this in the "How to do Clever Things" tab on my blog - with your name/credit of course - hope that's ok?)Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.com
