1. Measure ten strips of paper 1 cm wide and 30 cm long.
2. Then you cut your ten pieces of paper out.
3. After that you place five strips on the ground/mat next to each other,about 2 cm width apart.
4. Then grab one of the strips that are not on the ground/mat and weave it through the ones on the ground/mat buy going under the first one and over the next one until you get to the end.
5. Repeat step 4 using the 4 strips remaining.
6. Once you have completed step 5 you careful push the strips in to the middle so their touching each other and make the inside makes a square.
7. Sellotape each corner to help keep the strips in place.
8. To make the sides of the box,fold the outside strips back to the base ( To keep the out sides straight fold the strips using the line of you base as your guyed.
9. Cut out 4 strips that are 24 cm long and 1 cm wide.
