This is an attractive and practical box which can be made with a single sheet of paper. It may serve as an individual candy box on tables at Christmas parties, etc. A rectangular piece of paper consisting of two equal squares is used to make this box. 4"x8" is a good size for the above purpose.

Fold on the center dotted line and crease. Unfold, then bring lines A- and C-C to center crease, and fold.

Fold toward the back, on dotted line E-F.

Bring line C-C on line C-F by creasing on dotted line. Repeat on left side, bringing line A-A on line A-E, and creasing on dotted line. You will have Fig. 193 B.

Then crease on the dotted line X-X. When this step is finished turn it over and repeat the directions for Figs. 193 A and 193 B on the other side.

Fold on the dotted lines, bringing points A and C to center line. Turn it over and repeat the above directions to the other  side.

Bring line C-O to line O-Z, and crease on dotted line. Bring A-O to line O-Z, and crease on dotted line. Then crease across Y to Y. Turn to the other side and repeat the above directions.

Open triangle O Y A into a square. (See Fig. 197.)

Review the position of Y in Fig. 196. Open the right triangle O Y C into a square in the same way. Then turn the model over and repeat directions for Fig. 196 and Fig. 197 to the other side. When this step is finished, it should look as in Fig. 198.

Bring points A and C to points Y and crease on dotted lines. Fold on the dotted lines by bringing lines O-T and O-S to the center line O-Y. Repeat this operation on left side.  Fold corner S on the dotted line  (200 A),  pushing it upward and outward when folding.

Study corner S in Fig. 200 B and fold the other three corners in the same way. When finished, turn over and repeat directions for Figs. 198, 199 and 200, on the other side. old upper section toward back on the dotted lines. Turn to the other side and repeat.

Pull little points out into position (Fig. 202). Fold upper section down-ward on the dotted line. Repeat to under section.  

To open the box, study Fig- 53-   Finished box.
