Pyramid Doodle Box

How to make a doodle pyramid box

You love to make unique little gift boxes to fill with some goodies for your family or friends?
I'll show you in this lens how you can make a small pyramid box decorated with beautiful doodle pattern.

I hope you'll have fun with this little tutorial.

You need

  • Paper
  • Pen / Crayons
  • Scissors or paper cutter
  • Glue

  • Printer to print the template
  • Paper

    It's really important to use thick paper for this project.
    Thicker paper will look better and of course your box will become more stable.

    Pens

    Usually I use stabilo pens or micron pens for the boxes I make

    Your printer does not handle thick paper well?

    If you have problems with printing with your printer on thicker paper, just print out the template on thin paper and glue that thin paper onto a thicker paper, before you cut out your finished box drawing.

    Test to glue paper together before you glue your drawing on an other paper. Some glue causes wrinkles in the paper.
