Template for the my origami snowman box, although I don't know that it will work to just print it and use it as is. Here are the instructions: 1) From top to bottom on the 8 1/2" side of the paper, score at 1 1/4", 2 1/2" & 3 3/4" (lines 1,2 & 3). From the bottom score at 1 1/4" (line 4). 2) Alng the 11" side of the paper, scare at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" & 10". 3) Along line 2 mark the center of the line between each score line. Draw a diagonal line from line one to each center point (see template). 4) Fold line 2. Cut out the blackend out portions through both layers of paper. 5) Fold line 1 in th esame direction as line 2. 6) Fold line 3 in the opposite direction from line 2. 7) Cut vertical lines on the score up from the bottom to line 4. Fold line 4 in the same direction as line 3. Fold verticle lines in the same direction as eachother to form a box. 9) Connect the sides by adhereing area 5 to the adjoining side. 10) Fold the "lid" down over the box and adhere area 6 to connect it. Tip, you may have to give it a little extra space from the score line to make it fit. 11) Fold the bottom ofthe box over eachother to close it up.
Tips: This takes some practice. Try it out on plain paper first to get the hang of it. Figure out which areas will be the outside of your box first and stamp it/ decorate it prior to folding it into place. Good luck. I wish I was better at explaining these things without actually showing it. I've had this template for several years and can't find where I got it from originally. I can't wait to see what people come up with!
