RECTANGLE CAKE BOX
This is how to fold a useful rectangle cake box with window.
I used this cake box for some of my Origami cake
slices.


Step 1:
You
need 2 papers of 20x20 centimeters for the lid and one paper of
about 21x21 cm for the box.



Step 6:
Fold
the edge straight upwards, the folding line is 2 cm off the edge.
Step 5:
Fold
to the centerline again and unfold the model.
Step 2:
Prefold
and cut the lid papers in half
Step 4:
Prefold
in half.
Then fold both ends to the centerline.

the four pieces together into one long rectangle.

If
you want, you can use transparent paper or plastic for the window.

both corners inwards and the edges straight upwards. Then glue the
edges together.

Plastic
from toy- / doll boxes, pastries or transparent wrapping paper is
great for making a nice window.

The
plastic is glued to the inside of the lid, see marked area.
