1. 1
   

   Get two tampon boxes. Take the first box and open it up at one side.

   
   
2. 2
   

   Cut off the top flaps. Repeat this with the second box but cut off the bottom flaps.

   
   
3. 3
   

   Take the box that has been cut at the bottom. Draw a line, slightly wider than a tampon, along the top (uncut) edge of the box.

   
   
4. 4
   

   Cut this line with a stanley knife.

   
   
5. 5
   

   Cut down either side underneath this line.

   
   
6. 6
   

   Cut out two flaps from the previously cut out box. Glue the backs off these flaps.

   
   
7. 7
   

   Fix them on to the inside of the box and on to the main flap.

   
   
8. 8
   

   Take the other box and draw a line, about 1" wide, around the entire circumference.

   
   
9. 9
   

   Snip triangles at each of the corners to the height of the line. Score along the line with a stanley knife.

   
   
10. 10
    

    Glue each of the flaps above the line on the outside.

    
    
11. 11
    

    Place this box inside the first box and allow the glue to dry and secure in place with a strip of tape.

    
    
12. 12
    

    Choose some kind of material to decorate the box with. You could use wrapping paper, magazines, fabric or even paint it. I choose to use black card. Wrap the box in your chosen material. It may be a good idea to cover the box with decoupage gloss if you are planning on keeping it anywhere that it could get wet.

    
    
13. 13
    

    To make my box more interesting, I made a pink skull and crossbones out of foam and glued it to the front of my box.
