  • Paper - it's totally up to you! Thin photo paper 32 lb (120gsm) is perfectly flexible to be folded easily.

You can choose between Glossy or Matt photo paper, depending on what you like best



  • Files - download and print the files on photo paper (or if you prefer - thin cardstock) A4 borderless

  • You will receive 300 dpi high-quality digital files (pdf or jpg)

  • Make sure the inkjet printer is set on FULL-COLOUR print - not ink-saving mode.

  • If you don’t have a printer - A print store is the best solution. NOTE: Colors may vary depending on your monitor, printer, and the type of cardstock or photo paper that is used.


For this setup, I used printable wallpaper designed specifically for 1:6 and 1:12 scale.


  • Cut out boxes with a craft knife and metal ruler.

  • Score the fold lines with the blunt side of the knife.

  • Take a 1/8" (2 mm) ribbon or thick thread. For the biggest box handle, use 1 segment of 1'' (2,5 cm), and reduce a little the length for the smaller box handle.

  • Check our picked Supplies



  • Insert the ribbon into the handle slots, help yourself with tweezers, and glue them to the box.

  • Fold all the parts.

  • Glue together all the sides of the box.


Done. Enjoy!!!
