    Excellent video. The only thing I could suggest is taping or gluing the two 'spare' tabs at the bottom together (the ones you say you often cut off). Doing that would give the contents of the box a little extra support underneath, and help keep the box shaped correctly.

    OMG Maymay. Super Cute box and WOOO HOOO you really outdid yourself and to do the math, cut and create. I mean Seriously girl you nailed it!! I’m horrible with math……..horrible at cutting on a paper trimmer. I mean yes I papercut all the time but……!!!!!i eventually get my cut but…..!!!! 😱😡🤣😂🤣😂
    You didn’t confuse….you are guilty, though, guilty of amuse!! I’m so,proud of you OMG designing a box and paper trimming!!

    It also helps me, personally, to draw the whole (outer) rectangle on my rough sketch, and shade in the bits that get cut off.

    • @inkyfeet12
      @inkyfeet12 Год назад +4

      I do that, too, as a reminder of the cut-away spaces.

  • @suetownsend1932
    @suetownsend1932 4 месяца назад

    Thank you for this most informative video, MayMay. Like others, I will definitely have to watch this one a few times and take notes. I like to take little gifts to folks who help us (like our dental hygienist), and this is the perfect personal touch. Your instructions are very clear, but I will have to try a few boxes myself to really understand what's going on with the math!! Actually, it's the cuts that baffle me, when to angle, when to snip, when to delete a section, so this video will be a wonderful tool for me.

    Great description Maymay. I work at a the ups store and sometimes we need to make a box. It’s one of the hardest things I have to teach some new employees. Sometimes we just take a small box and open it up so you can see how a box is made.

  • @rockyroadahead2698

    @kristinevencel2898 Год назад +1

    Same process I have used for years. For me, it’s just easier to make the long side the flap so it’s easier to decorate, if possible. Thanks for sharing!!
    PS…. I do use eighths and sixteenths in my projects. Love the tiny edging it gives.

    This was awesome Maymay! I am a visual learner and this has helped me a great deal. Will be making a template like the one you just made and change the dimensions for practice. You have done a great job in explaining this this type of box. I'd put a thumb notch to make it easier to open. Be well & be safe.

    This was great, start with the object, and just build around it from there. I am trying to make furniture for a dollhouse, and I can see how this will be useful to make beds, refrigerators, cabinets, etc. (gets tricky if I want a cabinet door or drawer that works, but that's later)

Now I see that it is fairly simple, if I follow a process like yours. Thank you for sharing this.

    You can sandwich the two bottom/side tabs between the two other front/back flaps so they don't stock up and get in the way. That would also give the box extra stability.😊
