Make an exploding scrapbook box

Cut the 12X12 sheets

For the outer layer of the box, measure four inches in on each side of a 12X12 sheet of paper and mark a spot. Using a ruler, draw straight lines connecting the measured spots. Cut out the corners, leaving a cross shape. The inner two layers are cut in the same method. Instead of measuring four inches, measure one layer at 4.25 inches and the innermost layer at 4.5 inches.
