How to make it

1.

   Separate the card

   Cut the card along the fold. The picture front becomes the lid, and the back becomes the base.

   Mark the lines

   On the back of each piece, draw lines 1 in in from all 4 edges.

   Score the folds

   Run a butter knife along the lines with the ruler. The card folds crisply this way.

   Cut the corners

   Make one cut at each corner from the edge to where the lines cross, on the same side each time.

   Fold and glue

   Fold up the sides. Glue each corner flap inside the next side to form a tray.

   Make the base smaller

   Trim an eighth of an inch off each edge of the base before folding so it fits inside the lid.
