Dual Colour Gift Box

It's Teachers' Day today and we had decided to make Chocolate Cheese Truffles for the teachers. We needed a nice gift box to put the Chocolate Cheese Truffles and to do that I tried to recalled how gift box I received at wedding dinners were like and finally got done. Maybe not exactly how it's like but it will do.

Materials needed:
(to make 1 gift box)

  • 2 different colours paper

How to do it:

  • Print or draw the template of the box on the papers.
  • Cut them out.
  • Fold along the dotted lines.

Note:
I printed out all the templates because we had to make six boxes.


How to assemble the box:

  1. Slip the two pieces of paper through the slit at the base.
  2. Now you have one across another looking like a '+'.
  3. Fix the flaps in green in the picture by fixing the two flaps beside the yellow paper, together through the slits.
  4. Repeat for the other flaps on the other side.
  5. To 'close' the box, have one flap fold down.
  6. Fold the next flap over the first flap.
  7. Lift the round' leaf' of the first flap to the top.
  8. Repeat for the next two flaps to complete.
