Make a paper box for storing things on the go!

 This Instructable will show you how to make a small box out of paper. All you will need is a sheet of paper and your hands! (You can use a pencil if you want to be precise, as I did.)

Step 1 Making Square Paper

 In theory, you can start with any piece of rectangular paper, though if you have square paper, you can move straight to Step 2. Keep in mind, the bigger the paper you start with, the larger your box will be. I used a standard 8.5" x 11" piece of paper.

Take one corner and fold it over to the other side. For neatness, you don't have to crease it. You're just looking for the opposite corner of your soon to be square sheet. Do this again for the other corner. You can use a pencil to mark where the fold went to.

Now line up the marks and fold along that line. Folding both a mountain and a valley fold along this line makes it easy to tear it cleanly. If you want to be more precise, you can use scissors and not fold anything at all yet.
