This is the best chipboard box tutorial I know. I made a box a few years ago following along with this video and the box came out perfectly. I used the quarter inch gap for the lid. It is still strong and the best box I've ever made - turned into a sewing kit. I'm here looking again in 2021. Thank you so very much for this.
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial and yours turned out so well!! I have referred back to this video several times myself when I needed a box! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment!! Corene
Greeting from the UK. Loved your tutorial. This is the best box tutorial I've seen. Only wish I'd seen it sooner. I've spent a long time and lots of wasted chipboard trying to perfect box making. Thank you for making my life a great deal easier.
I’m brand new to this form of crafting and getting the corners right has been so frustrating. Thank you so much for this video! I think all my future projects will be GREATLY improved because of your tutorial!
Best tutorial for a box I have seen. Thank you so much for doing this. I am wanting to make Christmas Ornaments for each of my family members, and I wanted to make a box for each ornament. Love this.
Hi Corene, I am new to paper crafts, but have a need for DIY everything. I have pictures of my family that I would like to gift them, but photo albums are so expensive. I could do this, create my own photo albums and the Box to gift them in. Your Creations are professional and meticulous, no doubt from practice. I will start with cut newspaper and cardboard for practice; then when I get proficient I will invest to create something hopefully as beautiful as yours. I Thank you for this fantastic tutorial; Happy I found your channel. Grateful Grate Grandmother here. TFS
This tutorial was fantastic! I have been looking for a box tutorial. So easy to follow, and I love how organized you are. Made it a pleasure to watch. Thank you!!
Absolutely great tutorial, very clear and easy to follow. I was looking for something sturdy to hold a wedding album and happened upon this video. Thank you. I will enjoy making and decorating to go with the album, knowing it will stand the test of time. Thank you
I just found your video to make a box for an album, what a grand video you made. I can follow each direction so easy! Thanks for this video, I am in the process of making my own box! Regards, Diane
Thank you for this, I was asked to make a large box and found your tutorial so easy to understand, you explained it so well. I made a 7x 7 inch box and looked good for my 1st attempt. X
THIS WAS AMAZING! VERY DETAILED AND ALSO RELAXING. I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN AVERAGE JOE AND WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY NEED TO GET SOMEONE TO SIT THROUGH AND DO THIS FOR ME WHO KNOW THEY'RE WAY AROUND THIS TYPE OF THING AND HAVE THE RESOURCES. WITH THIS WALK THROUGH, THERE SHOULD BE NO HICCUPS! THANK YOU!
You can also make your own chip board from card stock Chip board is just layers glued together to make it thick Since I don’t have the tools or patience to cut the chip board you buy at the store I just cut my thin layers to size then glue them together 😎
Nice tutorial Corene! I really like how you made your chipboard boxes. Thanks for making such a fabulous tutorial for everyone Corene, you are so sweet!!
I love this!!! I tried to make a box last weekend and let's just say my end product was a mess! This tutorial helps so much! I'm definitely going to try it this way next time!
ETG ATG??? What is that thing that lays down tape in the center at 11:13. You were going to use wet glue then changed it to whatever that is. I've never done anything with paper (I make jewelry) but I'm trying to find everything I need to buy to learn how to do this and your tutorial is excellent!!!. I just can't find something called that. Thanks, Lj
Such a comprehensive video. I would love to see an example of how you cover the box with patterned paper - you always create such beautiful examples. Also, I have the same question about how you cut your chipboard?
I just subscribed. I'm looking for box ideas. 🤗🤗🤗 I Most definitely Love, Appreciate & Prefer videos where crafters Talk to us & not use music. THANK YOU..... 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much. I now know that the reason my corners were cracking is that I was not mitering enough. Thank again. Able to make my cake boxes for my baking business the way I want them.
Corene, thank you so much for what you do. And to share, you will be blessed. You are so awesome. I am still looking at all of your videos and trying to learn how to use the Silloutte. Thank you so much. God Bless you.
Very nice. I have never seen a box built this way. I have always attached my pieces with the hinges. Your way leaves a seamless finish, I will definitely have to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have learned a great deal after watching your video. You are a great teacher - I can't wait to get started! If I want to use fabric (I imagine cotton would be best) to cover my boxes, what adhesive would you recommend for sticking the fabric to the lining paper?
I know this was done a few years ago, so I hope you're still monitoring comments. That said, is there a logic to whether you use wet or tape glue? I really enjoyed your class (because that's what it is); nicely done and very easy to follow.
Thank you, I appreciate that! My logic is any chance I can use wet glue I do, because it’s more more inexpensive. I like when I can to use wet glue, because it gives me a few seconds to move it around & position it exactly where I want. The times I choose tape is edges (so glue can’t seep out. Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by 😊
Thank you! I believe I have another video on my channel that I show how to make a box & I add the patterned paper. Maybe search “box” on my channel. Thanks for stopping by!! Corene
This video was great and I loved watching how you put your boxes together. I do have a question - If you know you're going to put the pattern paper on, why not do it when you initially put the box together? I'm struggling with why you put a black or maybe a white under-paper on the box only to cover it up again with a patterned paper.
Awesome! Thx for sharing your creative ideas. If I may ask, would you be kind enough to post the measurement & list of paper / chipboard you have used. checklist so to speak. Thx.
What a perfect video loved it. One thing that always confuses me is how do we measure the 7/8th of an inche like the strips on the lid it says 6 and 7/8th so how would you measure the 7/8th 😖
Thank you! To measure the 7/8 of an inch I the line after the 3/4". So when it says 6 7/8", you want to cut it just smaller than 7". You can also Google "measurements on a ruler" and images will pop up that are helpful to lean how to figure out 3/8" or 7/8", etc. I really hope this helps. Thanks so much for stopping by! Corene
I’ve made them with a pretty heavy, thick album, but you have to be pretty careful with it. Handle it with care, it’s not that strong. Thanks for stopping by! Corene
i have been wanting to know how to make a box as this seems so popular to do with the handmade albums! You explained it perfectly and I so appreciate that as I think I could make one now!!!! P.S. just curious if you have tried to semi-duplicate the box that Kathy Orta King makes. She makes the bottom of the box angular to sit the album in and then covers it with a lid. That seems so very complicated and I dont think to learn how to do it justifies her charging the outrageous price she charges! Thanks so very much for showing us how to make a box!!!!!!
I’m using a Carl Rotary trimmer. You can use a Fiskars blade trimmer as well. It won’t cut all the way through, but you can run the blade over it, flip to the other side and cut it at the same measurement, and then it will cut through your chipboard, hope that helps.
I love this box. Do you have written directions for this box? I tried to write everything down but I couldn't get everything. I would like to make a time machine for my grandson's 1st birthday and I need a box like this.
I love your tutorials they are very informative and easy enough to follow along.....Can you do a video on how to make folio wedding invitations made with the chipboard. That would be awesome getting married in a yr.
Hi Corene, I see you use Fabritac for glue. I use Beacon's 3 in 1 but Beacon's Fabritac is easier to find. Have you used 3 in 1 and do you find them similar to use?

Thank you so much Corene. I really appreciate the information.
I found black masking tape to trim around the edging to save paper...it’s awesome...love your designs...greetings from Glacier National Park Montana
Details matter. Thank you for sharing. I wish you had showed the process of wrapping the box up with the pattern paper as well.
O
Very nice. Thorough instruction evenly paced for a first time box maker. What weight was your black paper?
Thank you, I’m glad! 65lb. Smooth. You want something heavy enough to not tear, but not too heavy it cracks.
Very nice. I have never seen a box built this way. I have always attached my pieces with the hinges. Your way leaves a seamless finish, I will definitely have to try this. Thanks for sharing!
I watched this whole video. It was perfect! Thank you so much.

Oh my Corene, thank you so much for this tutorial. It's wonderful and I really appreciate your time and effort 👍😊
Really enjoyed making this biox, loved the way you put it together brilliant , thank you so much .
Just what I was looking for. Excellent job explaining how to do this. Thank you!

I'm struggling with why you put a black or maybe a white under-paper on the box only to cover it up again with a patterned paper.
I'm late but the patterned paper will cover the seams made by the black paper.
Awesome! Thx for sharing your creative ideas. If I may ask, would you be kind enough to post the measurement & list of paper / chipboard you have used. checklist so to speak. Thx.
Thank you. Took alot of concepts out of this. Now to make something crazy!
Can you please tell me the name of your ruler and the glue eraser? Thank you for your fantastically informative video!

@@corenescreations oh you’re so kind thank you so much for replying 😍❤️ m going to make this box today
Hi, great video , where did you get your black chipboard from?
Hi! Thank you!! It’s Grafix medium-weight chipboard I purchased off Amazon. You can also find it from Walmart online. Hope this helps!
Corene
Great tutorial 👍🏻
Plzz tell the name of this black sheet
Thank you. Black cardstock. Neenah Astrobrights Black 65#. Hope that helps!
@@corenescreations tysm
Yes this is a very fine presentation. Especially helpful for a noob like me!
Great video as usual. I have learnt alot. You are a great teacher!
Thanks Corene! Need to try this !
Great tutorial
Thank you!!
Good job
thank you for the tutorial.. god bless you !
That was great! Is the box made like this pretty substantial? It would hold the weight of several albums?
I’ve made them with a pretty heavy, thick album, but you have to be pretty careful with it. Handle it with care, it’s not that strong. Thanks for stopping by!
Corene
Thank you for this tutorial. Love all your tutorials!
GREAT tutorial, thanks
you are just so thorough Thank you
Thank you, I appreciate that! Have a great day!

Corene, can you tell us the exact Carl trimmer you use. They had so many to choose I got overwhelmed, thanks for the tutorial!
Can you please tell me...the cardstock used are of what GSM???
Correne, love the tutorial Why wouldn't you use patterned paper instead of the black paper and then cover the black paper with pattern paper?
omg , it really help ,thank you so much!!!
Do you wrap if you use white or black chipboard?
Thank you for this video. Have seen some videos, but yours is the best. Once again, thank you. And yes. What do you use to cut your chipboard?
What are you cutting the cardboard with? I did a sample for a gift and tried using a x-acto knife. terrible idea for me.
I’m using a Carl Rotary trimmer. You can use a Fiskars blade trimmer as well. It won’t cut all the way through, but you can run the blade over it, flip to the other side and cut it at the same measurement, and then it will cut through your chipboard, hope that helps.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much.
this is very a informative video thank you very much
Such a perfect tutorial! Thank you so much. Can't wait to try this
So beautiful , Thank you. can you do a tutorial on how to make round boxes or heart shaped boxes pls?
Can I use cardboard? Great tutorial!
corenescreations
Okay! Thank you!
great tutorial Corene!! I have made a few boxes myself which came out fine, but I like this method better! Will try it out very soon.
It took me two hours to make a box THEN I find this gem. 😂
Love it. Will definately try this! !
Could you use black shoe polish on that box or not
Thanks for making the tutorial.
Thank you so much! Now I have a box to match the baby album for my niece.
CAN YOU ADD THE MEASUREMENTS IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX?
I love this box. Do you have written directions for this box? I tried to write everything down but I couldn't get everything. I would like to make a time machine for my grandson's 1st birthday and I need a box like this.
Did you publish these directions and/or measurements? If so, where can I find them?
I love your tutorials they are very informative and easy enough to follow along.....Can you do a video on how to make folio wedding invitations made with the chipboard. That would be awesome getting married in a yr.
Hi Corene, I see you use Fabritac for glue. I use Beacon's 3 in 1 but Beacon's Fabritac is easier to find. Have you used 3 in 1 and do you find them similar to use?
Hi, oops, this is ages old...but in case anyone else reads this :) 3 in 1 IS WATERPROOF....FABRI-TAC is WASHABLE :) So the Fabri-Tac is great for fabric as it remains more *flexible*. They are BOTH Acid-Free so great for paper work...cards, folios, albums etc. So, I use either one for paper but I would only use the Fabri-Tac for something that would be washed/laundered.
I Think the Fabri-Tac dries faster...and it is great for Lace, Leather, Ribbon etc and also glass and unvarnished wood so if you like to use lace and ribbon on your projects, FabriTac is perfect!
If you are making something that will be out in the elements...maybe during misty/rainy weather or bath toys etc. then you want the 3 in 1. Sorry for the ramble!
Corine, I'm sorry to bother you again, but do you mind telling me exactly what magnets, sizes and kinds you use in your books. I saw where you said some on Ebay, but am still not exactly sure. Thank you so much.
Could you use black shoe polish on that box
