Darin recently taught the girls how to make paper boxes. They used varying weights of paper stock and made origami style boxes without any cuts to the paper.
I would post a tutorial, but I didn't get to play with them as I was busy in the kitchen. Maybe I can get him to show me as well and then I can post the tutorial.
First Darin and Samm made some, while Victoria and were out one day, then they showed Victoria the next weekend. We now have many, many boxes.
I am proud of how well V did with her boxes also. She was very precise with her folds!
Hers are the smaller brightly colored boxes.
It looks like fun. I want to make some, too!
I may have to buy some more card stock!
How pretty and very useful! Its one way to use up ole wrapping paper etc
ReplyDeletemy husband said that as a kid, he and his siblings made these from greeting cards! They would be tougher to fold, but would make colorful, strong boxes!
