Hmmm... I need a box for this gift...
but I can't find what I want at the stores...let's try the Maymay's Easy Box Making recipe!!! Tonight Maymay walks you through how to make a box for any sized gift! And yes this is easy MATH!!!!
So grab a cold beverage and a snack and let's learn about box making!
~~Measurements~~
You will learn how to measure your item to create a box... if you want to create the same size box Maymay did here are those finished measurements:
6 .75" x 5 .50" you will score on the 6.75" side at .50" ~~ 1.50" and 5 .75" then turn the cardstock to the 5.50" and score at 1" ~~ 2 .50" ~~ 3.50" and 5"
see the video for cutting and assembly

I appreciate all of your tutorials. You don’t spend endless commentary, straight to the point. Thank you 😊
Thank you for this most informative video, MayMay. Like others, I will definitely have to watch this one a few times and take notes. I like to take little gifts to folks who help us (like our dental hygienist), and this is the perfect personal touch. Your instructions are very clear, but I will have to try a few boxes myself to really understand what's going on with the math!! Actually, it's the cuts that baffle me, when to angle, when to snip, when to delete a section, so this video will be a wonderful tool for me.
Whoa!!!! I need to watch this over again!
Excellent video. The only thing I could suggest is taping or gluing the two 'spare' tabs at the bottom together (the ones you say you often cut off). Doing that would give the contents of the box a little extra support underneath, and help keep the box shaped correctly.
Great tutorial with verbal and visual cues!!! So completely explained!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
OMG Maymay. Super Cute box and WOOO HOOO you really outdid yourself and to do the math, cut and create. I mean Seriously girl you nailed it!! I’m horrible with math……..horrible at cutting on a paper trimmer. I mean yes I papercut all the time but……!!!!!i eventually get my cut but…..!!!! 😱😡🤣😂🤣😂
You didn’t confuse….you are guilty, though, guilty of amuse!! I’m so,proud of you OMG designing a box and paper trimming!! Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorial and sharing your Tremendously Terrific, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU so ROCK!!! 🐍 you do light up our lives from coast to coast and all around the. World kiddo. Just keep on Keepin’. You are awe inspiring!!!

I'm a mathematician specializing in geometry and I think you did a fantastic job explaining that.
Excellent tutorial.....thanx ! You are the best ....always explaining everything with so much love ❤️
My head just exploded. WOW thank you.
WOW! Thank You so very much for this . Great information. I get so frustrated with this, now it will be so much easier
You can sandwich the two bottom/side tabs between the two other front/back flaps so they don't stock up and get in the way. That would also give the box extra stability.😊
Finally a tutorial I can follow! I've been searching for a long time, trying to find a video that explains the basic box building process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
It also helps me, personally, to draw the whole (outer) rectangle on my rough sketch, and shade in the bits that get cut off.
I do that, too, as a reminder of the cut-away spaces.
Thank you thank you thank you!! Spent days watching videos and spent hours last night making a box for specific item. I see numbers and just cant think haha. I feel confident after watching this tutorial that I can make any size box! Great tutorial!! New follower :).
What a great and helpful tutorial!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills ❤️
You are such a great teacher! ❤
This is so good to know. I am always needing a box. Thanks for sharing.
Maymay, you say all the time that you’re bad at math but that is not true and this video is proof! Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us! ❤
Thank you. This takes some mystery out of boxes.
I know I've heard you say you don't do math. DO NOT sell yourself short. Math is on display here. Thanks for the concise and accurate description of how to lay out a box. Bravo! You're a great teacher.
This was a great tutorial, thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Thk you Maymay, love your video, it makes alot of sense how you calculated the dimensions.
Like this -- it IS as simple as measure, sketch, and create a sample/test product: any size / any item. Nice to see this.
This was so helpful!!! Thank you so much for teaching us!!!
Crystal clear, and concise. Bravo, and thank you!
Sadly I don't have that handy dandy scoring board you used, but I do have a Cricut... so after watching this I can see that I NEED to get a scorer wheel tool for it! :D
Thank you for sharing this secret!
Same process I have used for years. For me, it’s just easier to make the long side the flap so it’s easier to decorate, if possible. Thanks for sharing!!
PS…. I do use eighths and sixteenths in my projects. Love the tiny edging it gives.
Easy peasy breezy!!! Thnx!!!!
Great tutorial! Thank you 😊
THIS WAS GREAT....I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW TO FIGURE THE MATH FOR SMALL GIFTS THAT I GIVE IN A BOX. NOW I KNOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Great description Maymay. I work at a the ups store and sometimes we need to make a box. It’s one of the hardest things I have to teach some new employees. Sometimes we just take a small box and open it up so you can see how a box is made.
This was awesome!! Thank you for this!!!!!!
My favorite part of crafting is making boxes for my projects and I draw all my boxes out before assembly. I also keep my sketches in a notebook 🤭. It helps! TFS 💕💕💕
OMGosh you made this so clear for me! Thank you thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. It was very helpful.
Thanks! Makes sense finally.
Thank you, Maymay! This is exactly what I need to make boxes of any size that I may need! This is one of the most handy and helpful videos yet, and that is saying a lot for all of your great videos!!! BTW, I also score from the right for those tight score marks.
Thank you! It finally makes sense 😊
This makes it all so very simple. I love your instructions because they are so very simple when you show how to make things. You make the Impossible Possible!
Thanks!!
Wow!! You made that look so simple!!! Thank you Maymay. Loving it!
This was awesome Maymay! I am a visual learner and this has helped me a great deal. Will be making a template like the one you just made and change the dimensions for practice. You have done a great job in explaining this this type of box. I'd put a thumb notch to make it easier to open. Be well & be safe.
I have done this for all projects that have measurements for SOO long... thank you for making it so clear that I have a reference to send people to that is already done. It seems like no matter how many times I take photos or show people that they just HAVE to see a top down video and watch it. :D xoxo you're a star, lady. an absolute star!
This was great, start with the object, and just build around it from there. I am trying to make furniture for a dollhouse, and I can see how this will be useful to make beds, refrigerators, cabinets, etc. (gets tricky if I want a cabinet door or drawer that works, but that's later)
I really appreciate all your guidance and your sharing your crafty knowledge. It's always great to learn new techniques. Thank you so much Maymay. 🙏
Great video, seeing this process is so helpful.
Great tutorial. I love it. Thanks a lot.
For items about this size this is a great use of paper- it looks like you would be able to get 2 boxes out of a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper
You couldn't have made that more simple. Thank you.
Thank you Maymay
You are wonderful. Thank you
Perfect! I’ve been trying to figure a formula for making boxes!!! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the process of a one sheet box! This will be great for any gift giving.
This is a great tutorial! thank you!
I did it for playing cards that were 3-1/2x2-1/4 and the stack of 6 pieces was 1-/4" high. My CS ended-up being 4-./4x5-3/4. TFS, Nicole
That was awesome! Thank you!!
This was a great tutorial! I also learned several years ago how to make a box out of a greeting card! It's great for small items like earrings etc.
Oh my, you make the process so clear! I can visualize things in 3-D pretty well, and follow patterns that other people create, but creating one myself always seemed like a lot of work to figure out. Now I see that it is fairly simple, if I follow a process like yours. Thank you for sharing this.
It’s very interesting to see your process.
Thank you, so much for this!!!
I stumbled upon this video as I research cutting machines for beginners before I buy one. After watching this, I just want to make boxes! 😂 This looks so very satisfying!
Your process videos are always so clear and understandable! Thanks Maymay!!
Thank you. This makes sense.❤️❤️
Gold Bond. I use all their stuff!
OMG! Thank you so much. As a newbie, this is so so helpful and appreciated. Blessings.
This is excellent!!! I'm math-challenged so I need to watch a few times but this was SOOOO helpful. Thank you so much!!
I am so grateful that you showed this to us. ❤
Thank you. I’m going to try your instructions.
Brilliant, thank you x
Thank you, VERY helpful.
This instructional video was perfectly taught. Perfect.
Hi all! Math and I are not compatible, never have been! I just made my first box using this video and it actually looks like a box! To be honest I did cut off the wrong tabs and somehow ended up with an extra inch high but it fit my mouse great! LOL Thank you, MayMay!
😆😍
Thanks a bunch!
Oh my..This is such an easier way than I have been doing..I would love to see making a bigger box and how to connect more than one sheet..Thank you!
Thanks Maymay for this video. I believe it will help a lot of people
Thank you. 🎉
Excellent tutorial thank you so much
Thank you - very helpful ❤
Thank you so much for showing this process!
Excellent! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and inspiration for creating boxes… love this! Have a great day! 🙂
WOW I LOVE IT
This is great, Thanks!
Perfect! Off to try- not mathy either
So well explained, thank you
Thank you so much for the step by step process - I admit it still looks a bit confusing but I figure when I start working on it I will make more sense. Much appreciated
Maymay!!! You are amazing. I love your work.
What an informative video! Great job of explaining the how to of box making! Thanks so much…
Oh my word! You are a genius! That was a super cool trick. Thank you.
Thank you so much Maymay. I needed this video as I make lots of gifts etc and spend lots on little boxes. Now I can make my own. Yayyy. 😊
Thank you! That helps so much!
Wonderful!!
Great job describing the directions. It seems so simple. Thank you!
This is totally amazing! Thank you! I can't wait to try this, making boxes have been challenging for me, but I'm not giving up!
It helps I really want to try to make a box like this for a set of 12 cards and envelopes, the envelopes are bigger than the cards and that is where I always mess up.
Wow! Thank you
Wow!!! I think so 2 dimensional!!! This is tricky… I need to practice!
Thanks! I needed to see this as a refresher.
It’s geometry! You made the net for a rectangular prism!
Awesome!!
That was an awesome tutorial. Thank you, it was not confusing at all. Makes since!
Love this, you did great at explaining everything Maymay. I understood this perfectly! Thank you so much! 🥰🤗
