This is a box I made from a video I found on Pinterest. She called it a tricky box. The video is not in English, but she does show a template drawing of the scoring and cutting, so I just paused the video to copy it down. I'm pretty sure her measurements are metric, so I just figured out what would work for me.
These are the measurements that I used. I started with an 8-1/2"x9-1/4" piece of card stock. On the long side, score at 2", 4", 6", and slightly more than 8" (maybe a 16th" more). I did 8" & the top panel is a bit too tight. On the short side, score at 2" and 6-1/2". If you watch the video, you can see how she cut everything. There are also some diagonal scores. I trimmed mine more than she did by the diagonals, so there is less bulk inside the box. I also added a bellyband to hold it closed. The completed box is 4-1/2"x2"x2".
