Step 9Continue Cutting the Paper to Cover the Box

Continue Cutting the Paper to Cover the Box
For this step you will need your box pieces affixed to their covering paper sheets, ruler and craft knife.

Hold the ruler flush with the first angled side of the box, directly at the corner of your previous cut and trim away the excess paper (Photo 1). Then, move to the sharpest corner of the box and align your ruler parallel with the long side of the box and make a cut all the way from the corner to the edge of the paper (Photo 2). You should now have a second flap to work with.

Begin by folding up the flap along the angled edge of the box (Photo 3). Just like in the last step, use your fingers to crease the paper so that you will be able to see both the top of the box and where the box corners are located through their impression in the paper. Repeat the same steps from Step 8 to create the folding flap so that your cut looks like a backwards 1 (Photos 4 and 5).
