If
you've got paint chips sitting around begging to be made into
something, try folding them into boxes for paperclips, thumbtacks, party
favor candies, or tiny gifts. I made these from Behr swatches,
available at Home Depot.
You'll need paint swatches, double-stick tape, an X-acto knife, ruler, and cutting mat.
For
the box bottom, cut a 1/2" strip off each of the two rounded ends of
the swatch. You should be left with a 5" x 5" square. At a point
slightly more than 1 1/2" from
one edge—about 1 17/32" if you want to be picky, but I just eyeballed
it—score a line with your knife. Repeat on the remaining three sides.
These scoring lines are shown as dashed lines above. Then cut out the
gray shaded sections. This is what the box bottom should look like:
The box lid is constructed the same way. Trim a swatch down to a 3" x 3" square. At a point slightly less
than 1/2" from one edge, score a line with your knife. Repeat on the
remaining three sides and cut out the gray shaded sections.
Fold each sheet on the scored lines, bending flaps inward and securing them with double-stick tape.
