you can make a very beautiful box using A4 size xerox papers. this is a A4 size paper.
fold the bottom long edge to the top and fold the mid line along the length. mark this line
with a pen and then bisect the left top and bottom corners. we fold this 45 degree slant
and mark this slant line. do the similar thing on the bottom corner and you will get two
slant lines intersecting the mid line. draw both the slant lines. repeat the same with
the two right side corners. fold the 45 degrees slant line and mark it. do the same for the
other corner. now fold the lines where these slant lines meet the mid line. mark them too.
this is the first one and this is the second one. and now fold the quarter lines. bring
the long edge to the mid line. all the long and short edges. this is another quarter line.
fold the short edge to the line. fold the triangle and fold this small triangle. this
will make a kind of lock to make a corner. fold these two mountain folds and this is
how you make one corner of the box. you will have to make all the 4 corners to complete
the paper box. fold the two triangles, fold the flap, open it up and this is how it will
lock. this is the second corner of the box. similarly make the third one and the fourth
one. mark that you have not used any scissors or glue. after you make all the four corners
your box is ready. the capacity of this box made from an 4 size paper is close to 1 liter.
it can hold 1 liter of water.
