Tassy shows us how to create a quick & easy storage box for all your ATCs.

You will need:
2 sheets of plain 12×12 paper
Any images to decorate the box
Scoring board
Bone folder
Glue
Scissors

Base of Box

1. Take your 12×12 sheet and trim down to 19.5cm (length) by 22.2cm (width)
2. Divide the length into three equal parts of 6.5cm.
3. Divide the width into three parts 6.5cm, 9.3cm, 6.5cm.

4. Score along these lines so you get 3 squares on the top section, 3 rectangles middle section and 3 squares along the bottom section.

Box Lid
1. Take your 12×12 sheet and trim down to 21cm (length) by 23.5 (width)
2. Repeat Step 2 above but this time, measure the length into three equal parts of 7cm
3. Divide the width into three parts 7cm, 9.5cm, 7.5cm
4. Score along these lines and you should come up with step 4 above but a slightly bigger dimensions.

Cut out the four squares which are found at the four corners of the page. Start from the outside and go towards the middle but leave about 1cm flap which will be used to glue your box together.

Now you are ready to assemble your box base and then repeat with the box lid.

I have decided to measure the four side panels of the box and the lid and I cut some cards slightly smaller than the panels.

I then decorated these cards with these ATC images which are then glued on the panels of the box and lid.

And this is the finished box. I have also cut out some cards taller than ATCs so I can label them at the top to store my ATCs according to themes.
