Box with Tab

Supplies Used: Adhesive, Cardstock or construction paper

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Die-cut the Box w/Tab shape from cardstock or construction paper.
2. Students can decorate the box while it is still flat.
3. Fold on all the perforations.
4. Place adhesive on the two side tabs and fasten the box together.
5. Fold in the sides and then the bottom with a U-shaped opening.
6. Fold in the top with the tab until it catches in a U-shaped opening (Main Photo).
7. An advantage to this type of box construction is that students can open and close the top without damaging any decoration on the box front.
