Steps
-
Gather your supplies. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".
-
Take the pair of small scissors and cut to the edge but not through the edge. Do this on all four sides, but do not cut them off.
-
After cutting, the cuts should turn into flaps. Fold the little flaps down and fold the larger flap to the sides.
-
Unfold the flaps. There should be two more flaps in the middle. Fold those two flaps in, then unfold them.
-
Tape together the flaps that you first folded and tape. Do the same on the other side.
-
Now fold the last flap on top of the taped ones. Tape that down. You will now have a paper box by cutting.
Tips
- You can use a poster board and fancy zigzag scissors.
Warnings
- Children should not cut unsupervised.
