Make a pizza box

Here I am in the nick of time to show you how to put together a pizza box to hold a cute little collection of 4×4 cards. I’ve seen a bunch of these on my travels in cyberspace, and I thought I’d share with you. They couldn’t be simpler – I bet once you make one you won’t even need the instructions.

Want the measurements in metric? Then click here for more samples and metric measurements.

Step 1
Start with a 6 x 11 inch piece of cardstock. Score at 1 inch from each of the long sides.

Step 2
Turn the sheet around and score at 1, 5, 6 and 10 inches from the left:

Step 3
Make cuts as you see here:

Step 4
Glue the box together:

Step 5
Decorate the top of the box. I used the very delicious March A la Tarte kit:

Now fill it with some cute litte 4×4 inch cards. It fits at least 6 cards comfortably, and it all makes for a wonderful gift. You’ll be able to see my little cards in the March gallery in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for looking!

    would you please tell me what size card stock i would need to make a pizza box size 6 1/2″x6 1/2″x 1/2″ and where the score lines would be. the boxes you made are very very nice .

    You would have to start with a 15.5″ x 7.5″ piece of cardstock. Use the same instructions but score at 0.5, 7, 7.5, & 14. Then turn and score at 0.5 & 7.
    HTH :)
