Double sided tape or glue

First box

 Step 1. 30cm x 30cm card, ruled into nine 10cm squares (as shown above).

Step 2. Cut out the squares in each corner (so it looks like picture below).

Step.3 Fold to make a box.

Second Box

Step 2. Cut out the four corners (like picture below).

Step 3. fold (see below).

Step 4. Stick the smaller box into the larger box (see below). 

Lid

Step 1. 16.2cm x 16.2cm card, measure in from all sides 3cm this should give you a square in the centre which measures 10.2cm (see above).

Step 2. See picture above & below on where & how to cut, only come in 3cm for each cut.

Step 3. fold & stick sides together (see below).

 Step 3. Cut out a square 10cm x 10cm (see below on where it goes).

Step 4. You will need a piece of card 8cm x 5cm mounted on foam dots to place on card (see below) so the back will stand up.
