Lego Polymer Clay Box

This Instructable will show how to make a polymer clay trinket box shaped like the very popular boy building block called Lego. I love Lego and thought it would be really cool to have a small box shaped like one. I tried to keep the proportions somewhat close and made my template by tracing some pieces I had on hand. 
This is my first Instructable and I plan on entering it in the "Play with Clay Challenge" contest that's going on right now so please feel free to leave comments (or vote) or tell me how I can improve my entry. 

Step 1: The Materials

To make the box, gather these supplies:
-a writing instrument such as a pen or pencil (I let the force be with me and chose my Yoda minifigure pen)
-a cutting instrument such as a craft knife
-an adhesive of some sort such as glue or tape
-a few index cards or other strong, yet sturdy paper such as cardstock
-a ruler or straightedge
-a glob of clay in your choice of color
-a small bowl with water
-clay working tools of your choice such as cotton swabs, toothpicks, cutters, plastic wrap, rolling pin, etc.

A shoe box, lids from bottled of gatorade and paint can accomplish the same thing. I've also used baby wipe containers as well. The boys LOVE to put their toys away in these boxes.
