The box is made of recycled paper. The paper box is strong enough to carry the things. We can use this as gift boxes. It looks beautiful and gorgeous for gifts to carry without gift wrappers.

Let's see the step by step make-up of the box.

For this we only need

  • Newspaper / Used Paper
  • Glue
  • Scale
  • Scissors
  • Long sandwich toothpick

Roll to Make Long Tubes

  • Cut long strips of newspaper / A4 sheets by folding horizontally in half and cut into sections.
  • I used long sandwich toothpicks for rolling the tubes.
  • Place the toothpick on a corner of the paper, start rolling.
  • This will give you a long tube.
  • When you reach the end smear on a small amount of glue to secure in place.
  • While rolling you may get few tubes with one end slightly narrower than other.
  • It doesn't matter since we will be rolling the tubes again.

Hint: I choose white color, you can color it your choice.

Roll to Make Circles

  • You need 12 circles of same size.

Make Squares and Circles

  • Place the circle on cardboard and measure the sides for square.
  • I got 3.5 cm square.
  • Cut the cardboard into squares, roll the tubes around the cardboard square to form the 12 rolled square pieces.
  • Roll the tubes into 1 big circle about 9 cm diameter.
  • Secure the end and let it dry.
  • Now push it from center slightly, which will give the layered bell like structure.
  • Coat it with glue.

Like small circle outer square, make the square for the big circle.

Paste Circles With Squares
