I'm on a pillow box binge. Today's box is pleated - not one for the beginners, but great fun to make. It has a trendy chevron print which echoes the zigzag pleat in the box centre. Dimensional interest makes a refreshing change. Here's your free print-and-cut design: PleatedPillowBox.pdf
When you make pleated papercraft creation, you must take care to score and pre-fold the creases on both sides - that is the secret of success. Folding the side flaps is a bit tricky - the pleat folds reverse and pop into place. Have a test run on scrap paper before making up the box for real. Happy pleating!
