Box Assembly
This colored pencil box is put together with just a few pieces. To start, we took the two sides of the box and folded all the score lines. Then, we added glue to the long tab on one, and attached it to the other. Once this was secure, we added glue to the other long tab and attached it to make an octogen shape.
For our next step, we added glue to the inside of the bottom tabs and folded them in. We then dropped the solid octagon panels in the box. We used a ruler to reach into the box and press the octagon into place. Once secure, we turned the colored pencil over and added glue to the other octagon (the one with a circle cut out in the center). We used this panel to cover the exposed panels on the bottom.
Making The Box Lid
To make the top of the pencil box, we took the top portion, folded on the score lines. Then we added glue to the long panel and attached to create a cone shape.
We then added glue to the tabs on the side and attached to give a small vertical section on the bottom of the cone.
Next, we made the pencil led portion by gluing the long tab and attaching to create a cone, then we added glue to the inside and placed it over the top of the colored pencil.
To close off the top, fold in the tabs, add glue, and place the small octagon at the top.
To finish the project, we put an oval shape on the side (you could add a little note on it) and used some string around the pencil a few times for decoration and to hold the tag.
