Free Boxmaker Idea -
Craft a Pillow Box!
1. Start with a piece of cardstock with (1) a length of
3 times the width of the box you want to make and (2) a
width equal to the length of the box you want to make
plus twice the thickness of the box you want to make.
(For instance if the finished box is to be 8" long x 5"
wide x 2" thick -- the cardstock should be 15 inches
long [3 x 5"] and 12 inches wide [8 + (2 x 2)].)
2. Draw a light erasable pencil line parallel to 2" from
each long edge -- shown by lines #3 in the drawing
below.
3. Score a straight line at 5" and 10" from one short
edge -- shown by line #2 below.
4.
Score lines #4 and #5 as shown below (six scores in
total) -- picking the radius of the CURVED BOXMAKER
scoring slot that just fits the cardstock blank as shown
in the top drawing.
5. Cut away the excess material, leaving you with a
blank as shown in the bottom drawing.
6. Fold the 3 panels together -- gluing the outside of
the right panel to the inside of the left panel. The
right panel can be trimmed, leaving just enough material
for a sturdy seam.
7. Gently fold in the end panels on both ends and you
have a finished box.
Note: drawings are not to scale.
