How To Make A Baseball Cap Box?

Have you ever wondered how those perfectly-shaped baseball cap boxes are made? It’s actually quite simple. You just need a little bit of cardboard and some creative folding. Check out this tutorial to learn how to make your own baseball cap box.

Introduction

A baseball cap box is a great way to store and protect your favorite caps. You can make a box from scratch or purchase one online or at a local hobby store. If you are making a box from scratch, you will need to purchase some cardboard, craft paper, duct tape, and scissors. Once you have all of your materials, follow the instructions below to create your own baseball cap box.

What You Need

To make a baseball cap box, you will need the following materials:

-One sheet of cardstock or heavy paper
-Scissors
-Tape
-Ruler or measuring tape

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of cardstock or heavy paper to the desired size. The size will depend on the size of the baseball cap you want to box. For this example, we will use a sheet that is 8.5” by 11”.

2. Fold the sheet in half so that it is 4.25” by 11”. Then, fold it in half again so that it is now 2.125” by 11”. Keep folding until you have a strip that is about 2” wide and 11” long.

3. Cut off any excess paper so that you have a strip that is exactly 2” wide and 11” long.

4. Fold one end of the strip up so that it meets the side of the strip (as shown in the first picture below). Then, fold the other end of the strip up so that it meets the side of the strip (as shown in the second picture below). You should now have a box shape with two flap lids.

5. Use tape to secure the flaps closed. You can use clear tape or duct tape for this step.

6. Decorate your box as desired! You can use markers, crayons, stickers, etc

Step One – Cut The Cardboard

The first step is to cut the cardboard. You will need two pieces of cardboard that are the same size. The dimensions of the cardboard should be 12 inches by 12 inches. Once you have cut the two pieces of cardboard, you will need to take one of the pieces and fold it in half. This will be the bottom of the box.

After you have cut the two pieces of cardboard and folded one in half, you will need to take the other piece of cardboard and cut it into four equal pieces. These pieces will be used for the sides of the box. The dimensions of each side piece should be 6 inches by 6 inches.

Step Two – Trace The Template

Now that you have the template printed out, it’s time to trace it onto your cardstock. I like to use a ruler and a pencil to make light marks that I can follow with my scissors. If you want to be really precise, you can use a craft knife to cut out the template. Otherwise, just follow your pencil lines with your scissors.

Step Three – Cut Out The Template

After you have gathered all of your materials, the next step is to cut out the template for your baseball cap box. You can use a piece of cardstock or construction paper for this. Once you have the template cut out, trace it onto the piece of cardboard that you will be using for the bottom of the box. Cut out the traced piece from the cardboard.

Step Four – Fold The Cardboard

Now that you have your cardboard cut out, it’s time to start folding! The first step is to take the long, narrow piece of cardboard and fold it in half lengthwise. Once you have done this, take the two shorter pieces of cardboard and fold them in half widthwise. Now, take all three pieces of cardboard and stand them up on their short end with the long, narrow piece in the middle. Tape all three pieces together at the top using duct tape or packing tape.

Step Five – Add The Elastic

Once the box is the correct size, it is time to add the elastic. Cut a length of elastic that will go around the entire circumference of the box plus an extra 2 inches. Sew one end of the elastic to the short side of the box along the seam. Then stretch the elastic around the entire circumference of the box and sew the other end to the seam on the opposite short side of the box. Trim any excess elastic.

Step Six – Decorate The Box

Now that the box is complete, it’s time to decorate it! You can use paint, markers, and other craft supplies to make the box your own. Be creative and have fun!

Conclusion

In conclusion, making a baseball cap box is a relatively simple task that can be accomplished with just a few materials and some basic woodworking skills. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily create a functional and attractive storage solution for your baseball caps.
