    What a great idea to use our paper pads. I saw in another video that if you make the bottom 1/8” smaller, the top one comes in easier but still tight close.

      Yes, logic would tell you to score the bottom 1/8" smaller on one side so you can fit that top on without it buckling the bottom.

      You can score both papers the same amount. Just make the bottom paper 1/8" smaler bevor scoring the paper. Great Video. Thank you for sharing.

    Can I recommend cutting a half circle out in the middle of two opposite edges using a 1 inch circle cutter. It makes opening the box much easier. Also I would glue up the bottom first and then one corner of the top, lay the top over the bottom and glue the other three corners allowing a little leeway on the flaps as you go if it’s too tight a fit. Hope that makes sense.

    • @janasher4940

      Or just add 1/8 inches to one side bottom and top to the top section when you score so that it sits nicely onto the bottom.

    If you shift the card for the lid tiny bit to the right on the score board and score the usual and repeat on all sides, it will make the lid of the box slightly bigger to cover the bottom easily. Also use circle punch, punch it half way on both side of lid to make it easier to open the box.

    That paper is very thin to make that big of a box and have it not crush easily. I make boxes quite a bit and use heavier weight paper. In this case, to use up these decorative papers, maybe adhering another piece of 12x12 (plain white would do, burnish it well and let it dry) to the backside before scoring and cutting so it’s doubly thick.

    I learned to do this technique with Christmas cards many many years ago. I did just learn about the depth thing from you. Thank you.
    I’m just curious why are these videos so long do they have short ones with the same information? Not sure why all these type of videos are so long. I get that you’re trying to explain something but we can always stop a video and then start up again. We can rewind it. Oh yeah, we can fast-forward. Thanks for showing these very, very interesting and cute

    If you back off 1/8 of an inch on the bottom box, you won't have the buckling.

    Just cut 2 mm of the bottom paper before you scor and it will fit perfectly
