Do you want to make a soap box?

I just thought this was soooooo cool. Now I have templates for all types and sizes of boxes. I have made boxes before with cardstock. I did have to print them out of a couple pieces of paper then cut them out. But to make my boxes I just draw around the templates and wala I cut it out fold it, glue it, I now have a box.

Thanks!!! Maybe my stuff for the swap can have pretty packaging after all

I wanted a box with a separate lid, so I was able to disect the box template, and make the top part just 1/8 of an inch larger. I was really pleased with how it turned out. Will post pics when I have a chance to take them. I doubt that ppl who sell their soaps would be interested in fooling with all this work, but for me I am having a lot of fun cutting and glueing stuff together.

Ok, here is a pic of my finished soap box. I did brown for the base, and tan for the lid. I tied it up with hemp twine. The finished inside of the base is 4"s by 4"s square. It is 1 3/8"s high. I found a neat 4 1/2" by 4 1/2" ruler at wallyworld. That made it so much easier to crease my fold lines.

Very pretty, I've made boxes from templates for my soap for a while and have got them down to 10 mins a box to outline, cut and make up.

I made several yesterday and I was able to make them rather fast. I like having the base template, and then I added to them so that I could get the exact type of box that I wanted.

I like this! I never even thought about making my own boxes and now this has got me thinking. Thanks for the link!
