After watching J.J. Abrams' TED talk, I was fascinated that he was interested in box design. I was inspired and figured I'd give box making a shot.
I eat a lot of cereal, and had a lot of almost empty boxes lying around. So after a bowl of Capn' Frosted Life, I had all of the materials I would need.

When I finished the box according to instructions, I had a hard time getting the lid to stay in place without collapsing into the box. Perhaps I was off a little in my dimensions. Anyway, I cut down the front flap into a smaller tab and made a slit in the folded edge on the front bottom panel. The tab slid into the slit nicely, and kept the box closed while also retaining its shape a little better.
Great project, thanks again!
Here is the link.
I hope you like it.
