All you need is two sheets of paper of the same size, but any size paper works. In addition you can also choose your own colour.

Next, unfold your paper, then take the short edge and fold it to the middle crease (do the same to the other side)

Fold the flaps about half of the way back (do the same to the other side)

Open the flaps you just folded, next take the corners of the paper and fold it in to match with the fold line of the previous flaps (do the same to all 4 corners)

Fold the flaps back over the triangular shaped folds

Push the edges out from underneath to form box shape- pinch the paper together to make it sturdy

Repeat steps 1-7 to make the second half of the box- but for step 4 instead of folding half-way, fold 1/3 of the way

Combine both sides to make your box- combine by pushing the side that was folded 1/3 of the way into the other side

If you want to make your box more stable add cardboard to the inside on the box. Add the cardboard at the bottom

Hope you like your box!!!
