Take a sheet of paper, this can really be any size as long as it's a rectangle. For this I used half an A5 sheet.
-
2
Fold the paper in half width ways and then fold it back out.
-
3
Fold the two edges in to the middle line.
-
4
-
5
Fold in half length ways and then fold it back out.
-
6
Fold the two edges in to the middle line.
-
7
Fold up the corners so that they touch the first horizontal line.
-
8
Fold the paper over width ways so that the fold is along the tops of the corners, do this on either side.
-
9
Fold back the lines created by folding over the paper.
-
10
Pull out the tabs until the paper folds in to a box.
-
11
Write down all of your ideas on to a sheet of paper, cut them out and fill up the box.

To make a bigger box that you can use as a lid, leave a slight gab before the middle line at steps 3 and 6.

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.
