Use a utility knife to cut down through all four corners of the box so it lies flat. 2
To cover each of the four sides, cut four pieces of paper each 1 inch larger in width and length than side of box. Center and glue paper to front of each side, folding excess paper to inside. Cut a piece of paper to fit the bottom of box and glue in place. 3
Calculate width and height of lid sides plus an additional 1/2inch all around. Cut paper to this size. Center and glue paper to lid, folding paper over sides and around to inside edge. Cut a slit at each corner to ease the folding of the paper. 4
With a large needle punch two holes in center of lid top 5/8inch apart. Thread yarn through holes, slip button onto yarn, tie, and clip yarn. 5
Use adhesive photo corners and glitter paint to decorate sides of lid and corners of lid top. Let dry. 6
Cut four 37/8�151/2-inch strips from art paper. Accordion-fold strips into 37/8-inch squares. Trim excess paper at ends. 7
Glue one end of each strip to an inside panel of box. Let glue dry. Affix photo corners and photos on both sides of paper strips. If desired, secure a photo in the bottom of the box using photo corners. *Reprinted from book Better Homes and Gardens Easy Crafts to Make Together ©Copyright Meredith Corporation 2006.
