Making a chipboard box

I came across a really nice tutorial on making beautiful boxes using bookbinding materials...I decided to give it a try using scrapbooking materials. Here is a video of me making a box as well as a description of the steps.
Credit should go to Peter Baumgartner who's video inspired me to make this box

I still have this box 12 years later...use it to store jewelry. :D

[@sambhavkumar3865]

Congratulations now your video is our college's engineering drawing section on how to fabricate a prototype 😂

[@jasneetnamdhari2667]

This is the best tutorial on internet! Thank you ❤

[@Kaththee]

I want to make a box and cover it in fabric. This will help me to make the box at least and now I see how covering it as you go might be easier than finding a box and trying to cover it. And I appreciated the pace. I can absorb information better if the pace is fast and I had a professor in college who said people could absorb information better if it was delivered faster rather than slower. I believe it. Thank you so much.

[@phenomenal_woman]

This was really cool way to cover a box, I am going to use fabric that I painted. Good job.

[@online22much]

Love it. Thanks for sharing. Love the fact that you can do all the cutting, gluing down the card stock, and store them flat. Boxes for all seasons! Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more sizes, cubes. I think if some folks are worried about the seams, they might try some binding tape, and then cover with the card stock. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertacomeau6504]

Your tutorial is most simplified compared to many others. Have bookmarked this to use in future. Thanks for sharing Christi.

[@jc4food]

I am really quite glad I found this video. Thanks.

[@nancykim4302]

Love the the top edges.

[@BrantK147]

Wow such beautiful music! :) Perfect for watching any craft making.

[@davidmarsh959]

phew im puffed out watching brilliant way to cover a box never thought of doing it that way thanks brilliant

[@craigandsnowwadam4511]

Very nice !!! Love your attention to detail !!!

[@susan1098]

Great project!

[@jjohn1357]

@EvryGrlzGorgeous thanks, funny you should ask..I actually was going to try to do a circular box with circle die cuts, but haven't figured out exactly how to do it in chipboard. I was thinking of trying Tim Holtz' Grunge board which is flexible but thick like chipboard for the outside of the "box". I'll have to play around and see if I figure it out..I'm way past due for another video, so if I do figure it out, maybe I'll record a new one :)

[@mm4lawrenceantipala476]

Great Job. ! Cristy.

[@MsDeejr]

Amazing working. Your tutorial seems so easy to follow. I will definitely be making this in the near future. Thank you so much for this great video!

[@timkellyharvey8686]

I made 24 of these for 3d wedding invitations

[@helenjuptner8773]

Nice job! It´s what I was looking for: easy and fast to do. Thank you!

[@aljosapavsic7016]

I usually use the Justfoldme sheets for making my boxes - it makes it so much easier

[@Yutunauta]

Muy bueno tu trabajo. Muchas gracias por compartirlo. I loved it.

[@maliburn]

Excellent video thank you so much for sharing!

[@susanmessenger9052]

Fantastic !! Thank you very much !!!

[@christyj1977]

@kayaoconnell16 Thank you. It is actually processing a KZbin Audioswap as I type this. Thanks for commenting :)

[@dirtpoorpicker2725]

Well done, very good.

[@pandapanda9483]

Thank you, this is very useful for me

[@sophiek3292]

Amazing!

[@saumyasingh68]

This helped me a lot. thanks Christy.

[@mstgraphics5790]

Nice projects

[@ChelsyXu]

Thank you so much for sharing. It's helpful. Xo

[@tampere29]

Very good tutorial!! Just what I've been looking for to complete a project for graphic design course.

[@mohammadsafari7784]

Thanks bro, that was awesome :)

[@noorprinters8106]

Nice work

[@christyj1977]

The box is made of chipboard and decorative scrapbook paper designed by Tim Holtz.

[@reamsphoto]

Great video! I wanted to suggest something though that might help with any worries about durability. Instead of using paper to cover the box one might try wallpaper. Spoonflower.com sells custom self-stick wallpaper that has a thin layer of fabric on the outside. It's good material that you can either choose a design on the site or upload your own. I use it for book covers, but it could be just as useful here too.

[@stellashandmade]

Love it, thank you

[@boxprinting1002]

Another way to do this is to NOT cut the chipboard into pieces, but make a "plus" shape cut out with the half-way cut into the chipboard at the folding lines; one pair of opposite sides should have extra length jutting out exactly the thickness of the chipboard so they will stand head on against the other two adjacent walls. Also when working with chipboards don't use inches and imperials units use millimeters and centimeters!!

[@2665ash]

GOOD DEMO.

[@Amit-em6qj]

Wow

[@OrigamiHowTo]

So cool! Great job! :D

[@suzannemix2528]

THAT WAS TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL! that first thing, is that cordbox, or did you say stock paper. If so, I dont know what that is! This will be my first project! Thanks!

[@christyj1977]

Thank you! The brown board is chipboard- medium weight, I purchased it from Amazon. The covering paper is decorative card stock, it is heavier weight than copy paper.

[@ketmaniac]

Nice demo. Nice music too, but why keep the name of the composer a secret? It's Bach.

[@analogasmr]

I don't see how the box could hold up over a period of time, seeing how you didn't glue any of the chipboard sides together. So, at any moment you could have some split seams right?

[@christyj1977]

It's surprisingly strong...If forced it will rip eventually, but I've made several sets of drawers and other boxes a couple of years ago that are used pretty regularly and don't show any signs of splitting in the seams..you could of course glue the chipboard to itself and I've seen people use hot glue in the seams to help strengthen them.

[@user-vd3to4vh9z]

Nice

[@jonathanwarner2420]

Hier das Original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j33UlmmBp5KCla8 And yes, you should glue the sides together.

[@akaalsahaye]

Hay.. Very Amazing..👏 Please tell me the name of ruler 📏 that you are using for lining in the video.. Thaq in advance..

[@christyj1977]

Thank you. The ruler I use is a Martha Stewart 6x14in T-Square Craft Ruler.

[@akaalsahaye]

@@christyj1977 Thnq, Very pleasure to see the reply.. 😊

[@christyj1977]

/watch?v=eFTIffP2xXU copy and paste after the youtubedotcom should take you to the original tutorial I followed and credited at the end of the video. I believe It is a foreign language video, but simple to follow along.

[@safiek5]

Did you not stick the four corners of the box with goue?

[@christyj1977]

I glued it secondarily, when I folded the paper over the glue seeped into the corners some, but I did not intend to use the box for heavy items so I didn't reinforce the corners. I still have the box today over 9 years later. It holds some jewelry. I have made larger storage containers and did reinforce the corners of those boxes with glue because I intended to put heavier items in them, they have lasted many years too. They are pretty strong for paper and chipboard boxes.

[@jjohn1357]

@EvryGrlzGorgeous lol...just realized I was under the wrong user name...Christy.

[@EndOfEntertainment]

cool stuff :)

[@erlisatriwong]

love the video, may i know the size of thickness of your board? in mm?

[@erlisatriwong]

+christyj1977 oww thanks for your reply...

[@soniaguzman7327]

It looks amazing and loot sort of easy to do but I wish you video was a little bit slower.

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

You can slow it down. might need to mute it tho as sounds strange. Go to the line of dots in top right, click on it. Look for the word quality, and you can pick the speed you want to watch it at. Hope that helps.

[@Kersberry055]

It looks like a great tutorial, but the speed is too fast for me to follow. Too bad it isn't a bit slower.

[@mistique24701]

Hi To make the lid how much bigger would u do it? Thank you. X

[@christyj1977]

I made the lid 1/8 inch bigger than the box, but with the paper it was a very tight fit. If you build a box, you may want to consider making it 3/16 of an inch larger.

[@mistique24701]

Ok thank you. X

[@nothing0154]

Would anybody PLEASE tell me what type of paper she used?? I need it for an assignment!

[@christyj1977]

The paper used was Tim Holtz scrapbook paper, however any type of cardstock would work to cover a box.

[@nothing0154]

Oh my god THANK YOU

[@dirtpoorpicker2725]

nothing 015 Or you can even use fabric, a nice silk or felt, I took her idea and made sunglass cases, six to a box.

[@kayaoconnell16]

it needs music, but nice vid =3

[@atsi8585]

Is chipboard easy to cut

[@christyj1977]

It is really according to which weight of chipboard you are trying to cut. This chipboard is a medium weight, think about stacking ~ 3 cereal box sides together, so it is a bit more difficult to cut than light weight(or cereal box weight) chipboard. You can cut through it using an exacto blade but you'd have to do it in layers. I cut it with a rotary blade and sometimes I have to go back over it a couple of times to cut all the way through. Hope this helps!

[@SweetPea1970]

How thick is the board you use?

[@christyj1977]

It's a medium weight chipboard. It's ~1/16 inch thick.
