Tips:
Lori Twenhafel offers a tip on making the Paper Jewelry Box:
I have found an easy way to obtain a box for the Paper Jewelry Box shared by Marla Cabanban. You can use an empty Kleenex box, the upright kind, it works very well. Also if you would like your box to be more sturdy, you can trace one side of the box onto posterboard four times and then glue them onto the sides of the box.
