Box
To make them out of playing cards, you will need 3 cards. Take one of your cards, score 1/2″ on all sides, clip corners diagonally, and glue.
On the other 2 cards, score on the 3.5 side at 7/8″ and 2.5″. Then trim from score line 1/2″. Glue side tabs together.
To make out of pattern paper, you will need 1 piece at 2.5″ by 3.5″ and score on all four sides at 1/2″—clip corners diagonally and glue.
The other 2 pieces are 2 1/2″ by 2 5/8″ score on 2 5/8″ side at 1/2″ and 2 1/8″. Glue side tabs together.
Now you have a little trinket box ready to embellish!
