With Valentine's Day coming up, a lot of us must be on the lookout for pretty things to make and gift. So naturally I went googling and came across this lovely heart box on Flickr!
The creator of the heart box is Natan Lopez. I understand that the diagram for the model will be published in the magazine '4 Esquinas' but am not sure when it is to be published. But in the meanwhile, the diagram and CP have been kindly shared by Natan on his Flick! profile (links below).
Some points that I learnt after trying out the heart a few times:
- For the base, I used a square that was slightly smaller than the one for the lid. I wasn't able to make them fit together well when I used squares of the same size.
- In Step 23 in the instructions, it is suggested that the corners be either folded or cut off. I suggest cutting them off; else there is a lot of folded paper which didn't make the folding easy at all!
- For the lid, in Step 25, adding one more valley fold around the box ensures that the base is slightly taller than the lid.
