Caillotte paper box
The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.
This little traditional box was once used by printers to hold thick inks. It is an easy box to make, folded here from an A5 sheet, but it can easily be adapted by using other paper sizes to get a longer or shorter box. You can also make a lid for it with a sheet slightly larger than the one used for the box.
