Custom Designed Miniature Pizza Box
By Jay Steele

This miniature pizza box is fashioned after the design of a famous pizza chain.  It come complete with the fold in sauce holder and prints beautifully on 61 lb matte photo paper.  All the text is readable, provided your printer can print that small, and like the pizza companies name all the text has been changed to protect the innocent (me).

If You Need It Get Adobe Reader HereI am including printouts of the box to the left, as well as a blank box you can decorate for yourself.  If you don't have Adobe Reader you can download it by hitting their logo here -- Its FREE

Step one is to cut out Zooplies Miniature Pizza Box.  Cut only the solid black lines!
Next cut all the black lines for the flaps and the tab to open the box.  Don't forget the curved black line above the pizza, and the tab holes and finger hole at the bottom of the box.


 
On this box I scored the green lines with a knife - I think I've found a better way to do this, but that will have to wait to see if it works as well.

Once scored -- fold all flaps AWAY from the pattern. 
There is a sauce holder on this pizza box that needs to be cut carefully.  Make sure you score or bend at the blue line before you cut the two black parallel lines -- don't cut the ends of the line as they are blue.  Push the section towards the inside of the box, and make square.
If cut properly and folded correctly, the end flaps doesn't need glue, but is held in place by the tabs.  If you need to use glue - go ahead as it doesn't affect the look of the box.
The top flaps go inside the box when closed.
The scored edges need to be sealed with glue to prevent them from splitting.
Using the edge of your knife and glue - fill the scored lines with a thin layer of glue.  Pinch the edges together making sure your hands are clean, so you don't leave dark dirt marks.
Your pizza box is complete -- All it needs now is a pizza!
  Tried as hard as I could to find a miniature poly clay pizza - but with no results - the only one I found was on Swiftsite.com - and is no longer available.

If you know of a good tutorial -- or would like to provide one, please  me and let me know.

Thank You.
