These designs are in 1:12 dollhouse scale with a few designs in 1:6 scale, but can be scaled larger or smaller with your printer. Each page has two small but deep and two larger, shallow boxes.

Preparation Print the designs on printer paper or light card. After printing, coat the designs with acrylic varnish or sealant if you wish. When the varnish is dry, cut the designs out along the outside lines and fold them to shape using a straight edge or bone folder.

Assembly

  • Cut Out a Lid and a Base for each box.
  • Cut An Opening in the box lid if you wish to view inside the box and line it with clear cellophane.
  • Fold the Box Top Score or fold the box top along the marked lines. Score the boxes so the tabs will fold in.
  • Glue the sides Fold the sides with the tabs up and glue the untabbed sides to the tab sections.
  • Join the inner sides Fold the remaining section of each side inside the top of the box, and fold the large square as the lining to the box. On boxes you want to have a view into, you will need to cut the lining section off and remove it.

    Make the box base

    • Fold the sides and tabs the same way you did the tops and test fit that the box base fits into the lid. Trim if necessary.
    • Glue the Base Together using the tabs and folding the inner sides and liners to the inside of the box.
    • Glue the Box Liner in place on the bottom of the box.
