Tips and Tricks
- For those who do not want to make boxes (I know it's long), you can buy them pre-cut and pre-bent. So they decorate paint, glue them to make drawings, gift paper, paper for scrapbooking (Scrapbooking) or Christmas decorations! Make sure they count.
- For a perfect folding I scored all folds of my boxes with a exacto (on the back of them). I then my Bender, turn all bone flap.

- To facilitate opening the boxes, I put a small improvised tongue with Washi tape.
- The strips or patches of Velcro stickers are to adhere to the tissue. Against by hot-melt adhesive is effective. Show Velcro on the fabric in which you create a box and glue them with hot glue want.
