Step 5Optional steps: Wraping the Box With Paper
spread VERY thin layer of glue on the cardboard (not the paper itself)and press onto the paper. Leave about 1/2' on the bottom and side to go around the corners. Do this to all 4 sides, trim the paper on the last one.
(make sure to smooth out the paper after you put on the box, there shouldn't be any bubbles of bumps.)
cut the corners of the paper on the bottom (see image 4) and glue them in place.(image 5)
now for the hard part(which I HATE). cut the loose paper on the top thats not glued anywhere down where the sides are into 4 flaps. Then fold it along the top and trim the sides down until it fits on the inside.(see image 6) Try and cut the corners at an angle (image 7). after it fits inside, go ahead and glue it down. Do the same thing for the other 3 flaps. (it should look like image 8 and 9)
Wait for it to dry.
I know my box isn't perfect. The cardboard is still kind of showing. >.< that's because i trimed the sides a little too much. but thats okay because you can't really tell after you paint it. If you are not going to paint it i suggest that you be a little more careful and make it perfect. =)
At this point you can go ahead and paint it, or just leave it the way it is.
There are many things/ways you can make the box look better, even tho i havn't tried this, but i m sure you can wrap it with fabric, or maybe even vinyle. So use your imagination.
To make the lid, just follow the same steps, but make it a little bigger. Experiment with different demensions, and most of all HAVE FUN!
