Question

Can you show how to make a lid for the box?

Community Answer

Use a bigger piece of paper, perhaps 0.5 cm larger on both sides for the square box, and increase the ratio of the starting paper for the rectangular boxes. For example, for A4, the dimensions are 29.7 : 21 cm. Increase both by, say, 1.05 and you have 31.2: 22.1 cm.

Question

How do I make the rectangular box more durable?

Community Answer

Use a thicker paper or cardboard. Fold the edges with a big crease to help the box keep its shape.

You just unfold one of the flaps to the side. Or if you are trying to make it a penny bank you can do it with harder paper and cut a slit in it this way you can put coins in it you could also make it a charity box that way too.
