This is my favorite! It took me a a while to figure out that my score board is opposite of yours. I now turn it upside down so I can follow along.

[@ThePaperPixie]

Thank you so much! That is so interesting! Which score board do you have? I want to check it out to see what it looks like!

[@dianemacqueen5419]

@@ThePaperPixie I have the WRMK and the 1” is on the right hand side.

[@handcraftedcreations7678]

Julie, love your work, so creative! Do you have this same box in the size of the smaller bottles of lotion? I would love to make some of those but not sure of the measurements. You are a doll!

[@wendyg2388]

Thank you so much! Your instructions were great! My only issue was my top had a gap, I'm sure it's some measurement I did incorrectly, but not sure which one. Could you please assist me with where I'm going wrong. Thank you

[@jessicavega9856]

I love the impossible box! But whenever I use it, the recipients always think they open it by undoing the flaps on the top. They don’t realize it slides up. How do you “show” people how it opens, without being able to SHOW them?

[@mickiejohnson1635]

JULIE Could you put together the same impossible box for those of us who do not have double sided cardstock. When we turn over and put together we have a WHITE sliding lid. Not easy to cover that... Thanks so much ---- I love all your designs..

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Mickie! Unfortunately with an impossible box, there’s no way around that. You need a double-sided cardstock or patterned paper with the way the box works.

[@lorybrown9117]

Awesome box!! Do you think this box can fit the 8oz body spray?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Lory! I'm pretty sure it won't fit the body spray as it would require a square box. If you happen to know the dimensions, I'm happy to help with measurements!

[@lorybrown9117]

@@ThePaperPixie Tahnk you so much for replying… dimensions are 8 inches high and diameter is 13/4ths

[@wynneannespano8972]

Loved this project. Have you made it for the smaller travel size?

[@ThePaperPixie]

I haven’t yet, but may in the near future!

[@wynneannespano8972]

Well thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I sure do love your projects.

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Wynne! I've figured out the measurements for the 3oz travel size and have added them to the measurements section of my blog post. Check them out here: thepaperpixie.com/2021/10/simply-elegant-impossible-gift-box.html

[@laurieherrera3214]

Hello loving the impossible boxes. Do you have recommendation or tutorial to fit a dionis lotion?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Laurie! I haven't seen Dionis lotion in person. What is the size?

[@laurieherrera3214]

The ones I have are 6 inches tall and 2.25 inches round.

[@ThePaperPixie]

I don't have an Impossible Box tutorial to fit that size of lotion, but I think it would require cardstock larger than 8-1/2" x 11".

[@nancydangelo720]

hello Love the box. Could you make this bigger using a 12x12 piece of paper and if so what would be the score lines etc?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Nancy! Yes, you could make it bigger using a 12x12 piece of cardstock, but what size are you looking for? Do you have something in mind that you’d like a box to fit? That would help me determine measurements for you, otherwise there are too many measurement possibilities 🙂

[@janetross2592]

I would like measurements to fit a 10 ounce bottle of shower gel. Thanks for all your wonderful boxes!

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Janet! What are the dimensions of the 10oz shower gel? I don’t have one to measure. 🙂

[@janetross2592]

@@ThePaperPixie Thanks, they are 3” wide x 1 6/8” deep x 6 6/8” tall. I love the hand wash box, thanks!

[@cherylcox7786]

Can you make this using a 12 x 12 DSP sheet of paper?

[@ThePaperPixie]

Hi Cheryl! You could, but I wouldn’t recommend it due to the weight of the lotion bottle. Cardstock really is best for this.
