    Fold up the corners so that they touch the first horizontal line.

    You can use any type of paper for this, card works best.

If you folded the corners inside and then folded the holding strip in, you have a neat outside. Great box!

That'd be a great way to recycle all my old xmas cards, thanks for the tip.

I use to make boxes similar to these but I used old b-day cards and such that I'd receive.

I have made one!!!! Note to people making one, if you are using a sheet with a pattern or colour on one side start with the blank side.
