For paper crafters
Made from just one sheet of A4 paper, this is an easy paper craft that produces a practical little container. There is something satisfying about turning a sheet of paper into something useful!
It is versatile – in particular if you use strong enough paper it doesn’t leak so it will hold water!
The obvious use for it is to fill it with small treats i.e sweets, and more importantly chocolates!
Given the up coming season it would be logical to use it as part of your Christmas Decoration collection – it would hang easily on a Christmas tree even.
The flap at the front tucks in (see diagram five), but the flap at the top also folds over thus making the container into an envelope onto which could an appropriate greeting could be attached.
When you start your imagination working you could used any paper, plain or patterned, or even use a piece of fabric. Obviously designs, stamps or stickers and other embellishments could be used. They would make pleasant individual table decorations instead of Christmas Crackers.
I hope you have fun with it!
