I hope I did this correctly. This is instructions I have for a folded box. I have made it and it is quite easy. I don't have the capacity on this computer to make a pdf file.

There was a Technique Lovers Challenge back in January for a no-glue origami box...

There is also a way to make the same box referenced in Post # 3 but is in the true Origami style.....no glue or cutting. The Origami box requires less folding so you don't have all the folds showing as in the Post #3 box.

You can find it by doing a search for Origami boxes. It is the basic box. All start with a perfect square and just folding. Trick is fold exactly and crisply creasing each fold. Make the lid starting with a 1/4 inch larger piece so it fits over the bottom.

Very easy to do. Kinda habit forming when you get the hang of it. You'll find yourself making boxes from square scraps of paper when your sitting with nothing to do with your hands.
