oojason’s idea of “reusing” an existing box set is an Excellent idea! You can get one dirt cheap @ a Pawn shop, like $5? The recover it with your own designs. I wish I would have thought of that before I make my box sets.

Getting the printout on a large enough paper to glue to the whole box in 1 piece was the tricky part. I used Bristol Board? Depends on how rigid you want the end result to be? Keep in mind the thicker it is the harder to cut & bend.

The nice thing about making your own is once you figure it out, you want to make another, then another!

My first set has a box within a box, my 2nd set was made to look like an old style Film shipping box, with straps.

I screwed up calling the 1977 A New Hope…as it was just Star Wars in 77.

box1!

box2!

GOOD Luck. Just take your time & measure, measure, measure!

looks great 😃 thanks for the advice
