DIY: how to make a simple box with lid :)

Hi All!

              A repost from my tumblr blog ^_____________^ I remembered I haven't posted it here hihi and since I don't have any new diy for you guys, I hope this old diy of mine will still give you inspiration

               So, I happen to realize that my old storage for my nail polish can't store all my nail polish anymore, because I am trying a lot of nail polish brands and colors lately, so my dilemma is I needed a bigger storage, and since i have lots of cardboard stored in my room...why not make myself a box?! and as for my remedy, I made a box that has a lid--I know you've seen gazillion of tutorial these but, I am going to share you guys how I did mine ^___^....  

materials needed

• 1 whole cardboard por chip board
• ruler
• pencil
• cutter
• glue gun
• patience 

Let us begin.

STEP 1:
at the center of your card board, draw a square on your desired size
mine measured 13 x 13

STEP 2:

 also, measure and draw the sides of your box with the height of 5 inches. You'll get a cross-like image.

STEP 3:
 with your cutter, cut your image, use your ruler as a guide .

STEP 4:

again with your cutter and ruler, gently run the cutter on the square image. Do not totally cut your square.

STEP 5:

fold the sides of your box ;)

STEP 6:

glue the sides together using your glue gun.

STEP 7:

 measure the top or the mouth of your box for the cover/lid 

STEP 8:.

repeat steps 1-5. Give at least 2cm allowance on your square.

OPTIONAL:

paint/draw or cover the box with a decorative design 
.

and you're finished! :)

now you can put some of your stuffs and be more organized :)
share your work with me!

GOOD LUCK!
