Box Made from Old Business
Cards
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Like everybody else,
I have lots of old
business cards lying
around and don’t
quite know what
to do with them
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Recycle old business
cards and make a
box to store trinkets
or business cards
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
All that’s needed
to make the
recycled box
are
19 Business Cards

I have used 3 different colored
business cards for the instructions
to make it easier to follow
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Place 2 business cards facedown,
centered on top of each other
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Fold the bottom card
over the top card on one side
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Fold up
the second side
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Turn cards over and repeat the
previous two steps
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Fold all the remaining
cards the same way

Take a 3rd card and
slide it under the 2 flaps

This is how
one segment
now looks
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Segment view from a different angle
The segments are
the building blocks for the box
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Arrange four segments
like this
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Slide each flap into
the opening of the next segment
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
If it is difficult to slide the two segments
together, cut 1/8 inch off one flap
so that one flap is longer
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Start with the longer side and then
shorter side is easier to push in
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
This is the box
without a bottom or top
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
For the bottom add a 4th card
slip the card under the top card
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Tuck in the top card again
This segment has now four flaps
rather than two like the side segments
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

To attach the bottom:
Tuck one flap into an opening
Don’t push it all the way down
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Push the two side flaps a little bit
into the side openings
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com

Stick the forth flap into the
remaining opening of the cube
CraftMeister.MCUniverse.com
Box Made From Old Business Cards
Gently push down on the bottom
so that all flaps are fully in
Turn the box over to attach lid

The top of the box has 2 small gaps
as there are only 2 flaps and
not 4 like on the bottom

any way you wish
