The size of the box i made is....6 inches by 5 inches with cover on it...
all paper that already folded ,you need about 21 pieces of it....

For the cover 6 by 6 equals 11 plus 2 on both side so all are 13 pieces for the box cover,...i will explain in the image below..

i use the paper pliers..its more strong to newspaper..bit glossy too..

for the bottom of the box...you need 6 by 5...then you will need 11 folded paper .
the folded pieces size is 16 inches long by 1 inch .

make a cross image  and apply glue to the center of the cross to attach together 

and continue weaving the 6 by 5 pieces..they should look like this..you can see below the video tutorial ..

and take more 5 folded pieces ,and add to any side of the cross ..
