    Hi Connie, I have an easier way to make boxes with lids. Just make the paper for the lid 1/8th larger. For example, cut the bottom box paper at 6x6, and the lid at 6 1/8th by 6 1/8th. Then score at 2 inches all around on both pieces of paper. The lid will fit perfectly. I love your videos and your positive attitude, never change!

    Hello Mrs Connie, I just wanted to thank you for you taking the time to show us your tricks to making a box without any trouble with the lid fitting just right. I have been searching the u tube all over and with a lot of failure and many sites yours worked just great. And thank you for showing us how to make the shim to fit over our scoreboard, even though I do not have a stamping up scoreboard I had to do some figuring with the sides if the board is not the same as the one you made and gave the instructions for making one. I do have one question what size are the boxes you are showing in this video.
    Thank you,
    Patricia may

      I don't have these boxes any longer but honestly, you will want to customize the box to fit what's going inside so stick to the L + D + D and W + D + D and you will have a perfect box.

  • @aseal5511
    @aseal5511 5 років тому

    As always your tips are fabulous and I've learned a lot! thanks! Now the way I was taught to make lids is to cut the lid paper 1/8 of an inch wider then score the same as the box like in your video and you got a fitting lid. This has helped a lot cause I "misplace" everything on my crafting table and find it 10 minutes later when it was just sitting on my table. ♥
