Description
Construct a classic design that includes four boxes in step formation, complete with latch, removable lid and base. Begin with the basics: measuring and cutting bookboard, selecting paper (Japanese Chiyogami and others), gluing and embellishing. Accuracy, sharp creasing, an eye for symmetry and knowledge of color theory are keys for this challenging project.
