You will need:
stiff card (approx 1.25mm)
scissors/sharp knife
glue

Instructions:

Mark the template for both the base and the lid on a large piece of card.

Make the section for the lid slightly larger so it fits over the box.

The lid should be able to fit completely over the base.

Cut out the templates for the base and lid.

Use a sharp knife to score the edges to be folded.

Cut the flaps ready to glue on the reverse side.

Now glue the four flaps to the sides.

Repeat for the lid
