Design Ideas
- Here is a template for a miniature Chinese food take-out box. (If you have large enough paper, you can make a larger version.) This will hold a fortune cookie (containing a special fortune, maybe?), or a nice little gift.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a photocopier to enlarge or reduce the image to suit your needs.
- Fold along the dotted lines
- Use a straightedge to score fold lines, making certain the lines are accurate.
- Follow our scoring instructions to obtain crisp folds.

Specific Instructions
- Print and enlarge or decrease the template to suit your needs. The template used as-is requires a piece of card stock that is approximately 8 x 8.
- Cut on solid lines, score on dotted lines. Note the cutting line marked with an "A" on two of the flaps, (these will be used as the closure).
- Decorate the box using stamps of your choice.
- Fold along all of the dotted lines. Fold and glue the gussets (marked as "C") on the outside of sides "B."
- Link the half ovals to close the box. (You can link them so that the oval is either in front or behind�try it both ways to see what you like.)
