Sheet B - 28.5cm x28.5cm (11¼" x 11¼"), score 9.5cm (3¾") in from each side

and work up to the smallest (see Photo 1). You only need to put double sided tape in themiddle square. You can then embellish and add photos as desired.
To help hold your box together securely, cut two 22cm long and 2cm wide strips. Glue
these together to create an approximately 42cmlong strip. Fold it four times at 10cm long
intervals and glue ends together so that it will fit snugly around the box as shown below.
To make the lid - cut a piece of coordinating paper to 19.5cm x19.5cm (7¾" x 7¾"). Score
along each side of the square, 4cm (1.5") and also 2cm (0.75") in from the edge. The dashed
black line in Photo 2 indicates how to do this.
Cut the corners of your lid squarealong the blue lines shown in Photo 2. Fold along the
scored lines and tuck tabs in as shown in Photo 3.
