To create a colorful, easy-to-assemble holiday gift box, follow these instructions:
1) Print out page 1 -- the box and matching gift tag. To make a sturdier box, you can glue the paper to a piece of cardstock or thin cardboard.
2) Cut out the colored shape of the gift box along the solid line.
3) With the colored side of the paper facing you, fold the box downward on the dotted lines. With that side still facing you, put a light application of glue one each of the four side flaps marked "X" in Diagram 1 (or you can use transparent tape).
4) Fold the box into its final shape as in Diagram 2, gluing the side flaps to the inside of the short sides.
5) Cut out the matching gift tag, write your message on the blank side, and attach the tag to the box.
