Making cardboard boxes with lids.

Just wondering if anyone has tried to make one of these?

I'm making hampers & want to use a simple box with a lid that I can wrap up. Had a look at buying some and they ain't cheap.

You could do something similar with big one

Not sure what size you are wanting but what about shoes boxes? The branch of Clarks near me will save them- actually they always have some in stock but will save specific sizes. They are then easy to paint with 2 coats vinyl matt wall paint. Cheapish testers in Wilkinsons.

have you had a look in a Card Factory store? They have a range of Christmas boxes with lids, and they're not expensive (I was looking for ring-size boxes and found some in various Christmas designs in Card Factory on Saturday for 49p each). They have several sizes going up to quite large box sizes, in several designs.

Thanks for all the replys.

I'm wanting the boxes to make hampers. They don't have to be too big, just big enough to put a few bits in.
