How to pass a little time

I saw this on Associated's site and had to give it a try.
I think it's pretty cool.

Too funny Doug!! KidAgain
I was checking Associated's News for April 20th. I found a link to "All Scale Mini Boxes".
There are a few other Mini Boxes available to print as well.
Have fun.

What stock paper did you use? Thin card stock?

Hi there AustinZ
I first used plain old printer paper to make a practice box.
I made a couple of modifications after the practice box.
The tabs that form the inside sides of the box are a little too long and I cut them straight, no little tabs to go into slots on the bottom of the box.
I held these together with some double sided tape.
Yeah, I know, a little confusing explaination but if you do a practice box you will probably see what I mean.
Then I used 8 1/2 x 11 glossy photo printing paper ( 0.008"). A satin photo paper might be a little more realistic.
Set my printer to it's highest quality and let it print.
Photo paper seems to be much more ridgid and thicker than regular printer paper so it makes the mini box a little stronger.
