This guide will show you how to make a pretty box with interlocking circles

Difficulty level: Beginners

Instructions:

Materials:
Scrap paper
2 different colors of sturdy paper
Pen and scissors
Round object to trace the circles
Ruler or straight edge

Trace the round object 2 times on scrap paper.
Cut out the circles

Fold the circles in half.

Align the straight edges of the folded circles to the sides and bottom of scrap paper.
Mark the tops of the circles

Use the marks to draw a straight line.
Cut along the straight line

Take the strip of paper you just cut off.
Make a straight fold on the paper. The measurement from the edge to the fold will be the height of your box.
Cut along the fold

Glue the cut paper to the paper strip. Make sure it is aligned at the top and bottom.

Align the straight edges of the folded circles to the sides of the piece you glued in the last step. Glue them in place.

Cut along the edges of the glued pieces.
This is the template.

Trace the template 2 times on each color.
Cut out along the lines.

Fold the template along the straight edges of the half circles.

Carefully align the cut papers to the back of the template. Crease them using the folds of the template as guides.

Make all the creases sharp.
Put glue on one of the creased papers. *Shown in yellow in the picture.

Insert a different color and align the edges to make a side of a square.
In this case the blue is on the top

Insert the unglued side of the blue under the pink
Repeat on the back side and your box is ready!
