I saw this originally on the blog "Just give me stamps" http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/ She has all the details for making it yourself... If I may, let me give you a few hints, because, maybe I really messed up, but I found that the dimensions were a smidge off...
so here is the formula I figured out...
Decide what size you want the bottom of your box to be. For mini notes is works out to be about 3 1/2 inches. then add the sides. For example, 2 inch sides; That makes the bottom piece 7 1/2 square (3 1/2 + 2 + 2). The top is what is trickier...
If the bottom of your box is 3 1/2, then the top needs to be 1/8 inch bigger. And obviously you won't want the top to completely cover the bottom, so that changes your side measurements. I liked the sides to be 3/4 of an inch. Making the top piece 5 1/8 (3 5/8 + 3/4 + 3/4)
If you make sure you score at the correct measurements of 2 inches for the bottom sides, and 3/4 inches for the top sides, then your middle will magically work out to be the right size!
Have fun!
