Prepare the Pieces

Cut four rectangular cardboard pieces, four triangular side pieces and three narrow cardboard strips. Arrange all the pieces according to the required box structure.

Build the Frame

Join the rectangular cardboard pieces with the narrow strips using Fevistik Power to create flexible folds for the base and lid of the pencil box.

Cover the Box

Finish the Inside

Paste orange craft paper inside the pencil box using Fevistik Power to cover the cardboard and give the inside a bright, neat appearance.

Assemble the Pencil Box

Attach the triangular side pieces, fix the elastic loop and button closure, and fold the structure into shape. Your colourful DIY Printed Pencil Box is now ready to use!
