Bearing this in mind cut Fig. 4as much as you like, as suggested by Fig. 5. Perhaps itwould be well to practice first of all on a rough piece. Themore delicate the cuts the prettier will be the completed mat. Paper Boxes Take an exactly square piece of paper (cream-laid note-paper is best in texture), and fold it across to each corner andpress down the folds. Unfold it and then fold each cornerexactly into the middle, and press down and unfold lines of fold on the paper will now be seen to run fromcorner to corner, crossing in the middle, and also forming a. ^»qoa4 i Paper Boxes square pattern. The next thing is to fold over each cornerexactly to the line of this square on the opposite half of thepaper. When this is done, and the paper is again straight-ened out, the lines of fold will be as in Fig. 1. Cut out thetriangles marked X in Fig. 1, and the paper will be as in 288 WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW ^ Fig. 2. Then cut along all the dotted lines in Fig. 2, andstand the opposite corners up to form the sides and lid ofthe box: first A and B, which are fastened by folding backthe little flaps at the tip of A, slipping through the slit at thetip of B, and then unfolding them, again; and then C and D,which are secured in the same way. Cardboard BoxesCardboard boxes, of a more useful nature than paperboxes, are made on the same principle as the house describedon p. 239, and the furniture to go in it, as described later inthe same chapter. The whole box can be cut in the flat, outof one piece of cardboa
