Pootles 6×6 Week #3 Slim Milk Carton Tutorial
I’m endlessly amazed at just how ‘big’ a box I can make with only a small piece of paper. Okay, that’s not meant to be ironic, but given the slender nature of yesterday’s project, it does surprise me that this box appears to be bigger even though the paper is the same size to start with….
Everyone loves a milk carton style box. They’re easy to make, look cute when stacked together and displayed, and the possibilities are endless with them!
And of course, milk carton type boxes are a great way to show off a gorgeous DSP and these 2 are rather lovely!
Pacific Point isn’t a colour I’d normally put with Very Vanilla, but that’s exactly what I’ve done here on one, and I think it looks rather fab!
I hope you enjoy my video, and perhaps you’ll show me your milk cartons too!

Sam, I’m loving all of this little boxes you are making with the 6×6 DSP, they are just adorable and just perfect to give a small gift like some ear rings or a bracelet or even some sweeties.
Thank you so much for making this videos Sam, they are an endless source of inspiration.
