I have to look for it at home when I get there, but I have the easiest little box that you can make with just two squares of paper. It's basic folds only, 4 simple cuts and makes a sturdy little box. You could use orange or black dp for the top and plain paper for the bottom...I will look when I get home for the link. If I can't find it I will try to write out the instructions for you. I could teach you in about 5 minutes in person, but we'll see if I can manage instructions. :-)

That would be great! My thoughts are is that I woul dlike to make the box out of 8.5 11 paper size, so that I don't have to buy the big 12 x12 size and then cut it down to 9x9 which is what some of the boxes are. But, I think I am off to go check scor pal. Thanks for the suggstions. I knew someone could hlep me out here!

This is the link for the box...really easy and customizable to any size. Basically two squares, the bottom one about a quarter inch or so smaller, folded exactly the same so that one fits into the other. The finished size is one forth the starting diagnonal measurement of your paper.

I found this tutorial on the web too! It turns one 8.5 11 piece of paper into two boxes.
