Every kid needs a box for their trinkets and treasures.
The basic rectangular box is easy to build. Unusual, less conventional boxes are all just variations on the basic design of the box we will make today. Our boxes will be made out of balsa wood, which is a lightweight but sturdy, paintable craft wood usually used for models. The finished box in this lesson is delicate and best for holding lightweight objects. Boxes of this same design can be made out of decorative paper or clay as well.
