I needed some cardboard boxes for a project I'm working on. I wanted REAL cardboard boxes, like the ones you can get at UHaul. Unfortunately, they don't sell miniature boxes. They do post the sizes of their boxes on their website.
I looked around for a pattern and found one at Ehow.com for making real size boxes. It looked a bit complicated, at least for me, until I tried it. Here's what I came up with.
There is an error in my pattern. Do you see it? The height of the box should be 2 inches, not 2 1/4." :{
My finished box is one inch square. If you follow the tutorial you can make your own boxes in any size you would like.
Now that my storage boxes are made, I really need to get my gifts wrapped!
My "to do" list is so long right now. I'll be leaving for Florida in three days. No, I'm not moving. Just going HOME for Christmas!
Hope you have a wonderful christmas :)

Your boxes are perfect, Kathi. Your site is so inspiring! I never know what you'll come up with next. I like your moving pictures on the right. LOL. I don't know what you call that computer concept. But, it's fun to watch.
