the decorative paper I have seems way too thin to make a box. what is recommended?

Hi
I use double sided papers and printed cardstock.

I use cardstock for all of my boxes. Some cardstock brands are thinner than others so just check it out. I get most of mine at JoAnne's and the DCWV paper stacks are awesome and full of colors

where did you find your box template?

I have also spray glued a favorite decorative paper or wrapping paper to cardstock to cut. That's what I did for these little bags...I had some beautiful rose gift wrapping paper and wanted to use it.

Plenty of files in the svg section

actually it turned out to be the box file i was using. it was poorly designed. i used the double sided paper from Costco and changed the box file and they came out cute. i wanted to make 4" square by 3 1/2" tall boxes with lids to put 4 chocolate chips cookies in. i'll cut the freezer paper for the inside and they will work perfectly!

Thanks, Lynn

Oh they are really nice, love the way they have turned out.

really nice boxes !!! are you interested in sharing the file for them ??

Thanks. Of course, here they are. The box top is slightly bigger than 4" and you'll want to move the window over if you want a window. I also added a name to cut out. Once the box top was cut, I cut a 4" square of clear plastic film using scrapbook acid free protecting sheets and glued it inside the lid so the cookies will stay fresh.

These are the first files I have made so they are probably very rough compared to others.
