Mini Storage Boxes From Our Scraps

I can never have enough small storage boxes, and yes I could purchase some but why do that when I have everything I need here to make them. I have paper, chipboard and glue and that is all I need. Lets make a few and then tomorrow or maybe Monday if time doesn't allow we will make the shelf container to store them on. 
All measurements, video and photos are below. If you make these please share on our Facebook Group, we love to see your creations.

Links to all products used is under the video




Measurements

7x9 inch piece of cardstock on the long side score at 1/2, 2 1/2, 6 1/2 and 8 1/2 turn it one turn and score at 1/2, 2 1/2, 4 1/2 and 6 1/2.

Burnish and fold your score lines, then cut away as shown in the photo below. 




Chipboard for the bottom and the two long sides is cut at 1 7/8x3 7/8 you will need 3
Chipboard for the two ends is cut at 1 7/8x1 7/8 you will need two 

Cover your chipboard on one side with the same color cardstock or a different, that is up to you and then glue in the bottom piece before you glue together the box. 

Then glue the box sides together and slide the other pieces of chipboard into the box gluing as you go. You may have to trim off the chipboard on the ends if the don't fit, just trim a little then dry fit.
