Materials
-X-acto knife: Good ol' X-acto knife. Usually for these I use a big, box-cutter-type X-acto knife.
-Ruler
-Clothespins
-Pencil to mark off fold-lines
-Glue: I would recommend some sort of craft adhesive like E6000 perhaps. I used EXTREME REPAIR glue by LePage 'cause it dries clear, has a nice texture to it and is pretty much everything-proof (according to the package). If you can, use something that dries clear, 'cause unless you're really careful, It'll end up looking pretty messy.

Please note:
Be careful when you're folding the carton. If you fold it too fast or with a lot of pressure, the 'shell'-sorta part of the carton likes to break, and then the white cardboard underneath shows through. Every time I've made one of these though, it's happened a little bit so, don't worry /too/ much about it.

Get yer glue out
I'm sure there are several different ways you could approach this, but I'm rather impatient and don't like waiting for all the separate glued components to set individually (all three of them...>_>). So, I'munna show you how to do it pretty much all all at once. Just so that nothing gets messed up I'd suggest that you let the bottom flap set for at least 10-15 minutes before continuing. Alright time to bring out the clothespins.

I am well aware that I'm not the first to post this, Sergent peppers. I didn't /steal/ the idea either. I didn't even know this site existed until recently. Also, the other version was posted on July 22 (I made mine in May/June) Besides, great minds think alike. They're different versions, thanks.

I love this. Think it would work with some paper lining glued in?

I bet it would work, PinkPanther. It'd probably look really nice too. I might have to try that.
