The steps for assembling the mooncake box are as follows: 1. Prepare 2 pieces of slightly thicker decorative cardboard, one square with a side length of 20cm, and one with a side length slightly shorter than 2mm.

2. Fold a piece of cardboard into a cross.

3. Then fold the four corners inward toward the center point.

4. Then align the two sides with the center line and fold it inward. After folding, turn it over and fold the other side inward in the same way.

5. Fold the cardboard and turn it over. There are obvious creases on the cardboard.

Take the square edge in the middle of the crease as the edge of the box. According to the crease, fold the four sides inward. Pay attention to the folded corners and press them inward according to the crease.

6. After flattening, open one side and press the folded corners down to make it smooth and beautiful.

7. Fold it inward one after another, and a complete small box is formed.

8. For the sake of beauty and appearance, you can cut a different piece of cardboard to make the base, which will look stronger.

Of course, you don’t need to do this step. If you want it to be more secure, you can just glue the bottom of the box in place, and do the same for the other one.

9. Smooth the four sides and a small mooncake box is completed.

10. In order to make it more beautiful, you can also put some decorations on it, or paste it by hand. Because you can express yourself freely when you make it yourself, wouldn’t it look better this way?
