Step 1
Score the 8 1/2" x 7" piece of cardstock on
each side at 1 1/4".
Step 2
Cut up to the score lines on all four sides as
shown.
Step 3
Fold tabs and apply sticky tape to the back of
them. Form into a box bottom.

Step 5
Score at 1 1/2" on both short sides and at 1
1/2" on one of the long sides of both Part A
and Part B.
Step 6
On Part A (which will nest inside), cut in on
each side at the score line to the interior score
line.
On Part B (which will nest outside), cut up on
the two bottom score lines to the interior score
line.
Apply sticky tape to the tabs and fold both
pieces in to form an open ended box.
Step 7
Apply sticky tape to the interior walls of the
Part B (slightly larger piece).

Step 8
Slide the smaller piece (Part A) into the larger
(Part B) and press together.
Step 9
Slide the drawer into the box and it is ready to
decorate.
Note:
Lightweight chipboard works well - you can use
the backing to the 12 x 12 designer paper
packs.
If you use regular weight chipboard, adjust
Part B to measure 9 3/16 x 6 3/16, but keep
the score lines the same. This will allow for the
slightly thicker paper.
Fun tip:
When made with the lightweight chipboard, you
can stack the boxes for storage of
Nestabilities or other supplies.

and envelopes.
