Better late then never coming across your tutorial 😊 it’s exactly what I was looking for & great, clear instructions - easy to follow…I can apply a lot of what you covered for the purpose of what I’m trying to make so thank you 😊
Best box tutorial, and I've even bought a couple... they all seem to have the same rickety construction lol, but yours seems sturdy & doesn't rely on wrapping cardstock to accomplish. Good job
I have made lots of cardstock boxes, and wanted to learn how to make chipboard boxes, and you have made this soooo easy to understand, especially the lid .tfs
Hi Bobbie, this is a very nice tutorial, thank you. I make various boxes out of card stock. It started out as a hobby but I was also able to earn extra income by supplying a jewellery shop. I then moved onto chipboard because a prospective client wants a stronger box and in black. Now, Its not easy to get black board in my country so I learnt from another online tutorial how to cover the natural chipboard boxes with black paper. My first sample turned out great and it was a nice learning experience, but its so labour intensive! Since my client wants to order 160 boxes every 2 weeks your box tutorial might work best in this regard. If I use 1mm board will structure strips in 60 pound be strong enough? I will use a wood glue to hold the structure strips firm as my client does moulds of hands and feet of babies. Thanks again for sharing another fantastic way to make boxes. Cleopatra from Zimbabwe
Hi, First of all thank you. You can also paint around the edges with black paint and cover the rest with solid paper or cardstock. Give me a little time and I will do a video showing you what I mean ok. Right now is not a good time for me. If you add glue along with tape. Then yes, it will hold just fine for your structure strips. Hope that helped. Hugs, Bobbie
i love how you make your boxes. they don't waste cardstock or chipboard and they look so sturdy. what are the best magnets to buy for boxes. thanks Bobbie. hugs.xx
Thank you Pearl. I save all my chipboard and use it as well as the cardstock. I buy my magnets from china on ebay. They are cheap and work well.. It can take up to 31/2 weeks to get them but, for 1/3 of the cost, who's complaining. LOL. hugs, Bobbie xx
Great job! Very neat and clean edges compared to many out there. I'm looking for diy box tutorials so make some storage for my dies and stamps. Thanks for sharing!! (Hope you and Pop are doing good. Hugs)
Thank you so much! what a nice comment. About what size storage boxes are you looking to make. Maybe I can help. :) Pop and I are doing just fine. Thanks for asking.. Let me know on the boxes ok. Hugs, Bobbie
Nearly four years later and thank you for all of your tips and tutorial. One question though, and it is probably very obvious, but when you make the front flap, do you make that the way you would the bottom and sides instead of wrapping the front piece as you would if you were not going to add a flap? I really hope that makes sense.
@@BobbiesCreationsandMore Glad I found your channel, some great ideas with pretty down to earth verbal instructions that are easy to digest - hope that makes sense :) late over here in South Australia and it has been a big day.
@@BobbiesCreationsandMore 11pm Tuesday evening here in Sth Aus and tomorrow is looking to be around 30C - 68F so not totally looking forward to that, having said that, I prefer the warmer weather to the cold. Keep as warm as you can without having to resort to your Michelin Man suit ;)
Hello Bobbie, just stumbled into this video, like it very much. Thank you. Just wondering how do you decorate the box with patterned paper, either card stock or scrapbook weight paper. Thank you. Linda
Linda Carreras Mostly with pattern paper. I also paint the box and use flowers, lace and bling on some of them. It is up to you how you want to decorate the box. Don't use a thin paper because it might tear the paper witH any type of liquid glue. Hope that helps. Thank you for the nice compliment. Bobbie
The structure strips are cardstock 1-inch strips. You score at 1/2 inch. You can use a scoreboard or a ruler and any type of scoring tool of your choice. I inch strips scored in half and add tape I/4, 3/8 or 1/2 inch tape and place along the edge od each side. I hope that helps!
I love ur video Bobbie! I have dear friends that make jewelry & they have asked me to make them boxes for their pieces. I'm out of my league as I do cards. May I please request a video from u covering the box inside & out? I'm doing an actual lid as they do not want the flip top. They have already requested a couple of boxes as they r almost done with the pieces. Thank u in advance. Hoping u can do the video. Donna.
Hi Donna, Sorry This is late getting back to you. Forgive me sweetie. Rough week. Do you want a particular size or ? Do you also want it decorated inside and out as well? Let me know ok. Hugs, Bobbie
CraftyCritter919 Hi Bobbie!! Thank u so much for replying especially since ur hubby is ill & ur not getting any rest. My friends want different sizes ( for rings earrings pendants & bracelets ) & by ur video I think I can figure the sizes out. Although they do not want a flip top lid. Decorating the inside & out will help me tremendously. I sooo appreciate u taking ur time to help me. Like I said, I'm out of my league. Lol. Been watching ur videos & I love ur stuff!! Big hugs & a huge thank u, donna
Give me a few days. I will come up with a few boxes for you. To darn tired right now. We are getting naps in each day. We have 2 cats so, when daddy is up they want to play so, they are jumping on and off the bed all night long. Does not matter where I try to get sleep, I am the target. Hugs, Bobbie
CraftyCritter919 oh Bobbie thank u so very much!! With my whole heart I appreciate ur help!! It very kind of u!! I understand what u mean about ur cats! I have 1 cat & 1 Yorkie. My Yorkie is that way. He doesn't care that mommy needs to sleep. Lol. Big hugs donna

OMG...I love ❤️ this project.
Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! One request, is it possible to get links or an idea of what stores we could buy the specific materials you're using?

Thank you Diane! I'm in Arkansas
How do you score your structure strip?
The structure strips are cardstock 1-inch strips. You score at 1/2 inch. You can use a scoreboard or a ruler and any type of scoring tool of your choice. I inch strips scored in half and add tape I/4, 3/8 or 1/2 inch tape and place along the edge od each side. I hope that helps!

PS forgot to say that I'm using the natural chip board ( Grafix med weight if that matters ).
You said you were going to donate a box to the Humane Society. What do they do with him
