Hello friends, how are you all? I am very happy to participate in Steemit Challenge Season 33 Week 5. This week's theme is 'Tetra Blocks/Box Crafting and Painting. Thank you very much to @sualeha for organizing the competition. I really love participating in the competition. I have started the process of making a tetra box or block using my creativity. I am sharing the first part of my work with you step by step.
Materials required:-
- Cardboard.
- Colored paper.
- Scissors.
- Ruler.
- Pencil.
- Colored pencils
- Glue gun and glue stick.
Step 1: Design and Measurement.
- First, I took a piece of cardboard and started measuring the box with a pencil and a scale. I chose a simple box design. First, I need to draw a rectangular or square section that will be the bottom or base of the box. Then I need to draw the dimensions of the walls around it. Accurate measurements are very important in this step, so that the box is even and balanced after assembly. According to the measurements, the cardboards need to be cut very carefully with scissors, following the marks drawn with a pencil. Here, a total of 5 pieces have been cut, one square piece for the bottom of the box and four trapezoid-shaped pieces for the four walls. While cutting the pieces, care must be taken that the edges of each piece are smooth.
Step 2: Measurement is underway.
- Now to make the cut cardboard pieces more attractive, I am wrapping them with yellow colored paper. First, white glue is spread well on a piece of cardboard. Then the yellow paper is wrapped so that the color of the cardboard is covered. After all the cardboard pieces are wrapped nicely with yellow paper, it is time to assemble them.
Step 3: Preparing for assembly.
- The cardboard pieces were then joined together one by one by heating the glue gun. First, the bottom, the side walls, and then the sides were glued together to form the entire box. The glue gun made the joints very strong.
Step 4: Box Border and Finishing.
- To make the box more attractive and neat, the edges or borders were wrapped with pink paper. This created a beautiful combination of yellow and pink.
Step 5: Design and painting.
- To enhance the beauty of the box, small heart shapes were cut out of colored paper and attached to the box. In addition, some hearts were drawn with pencils and colored pencils and colored in, which looks great.
Step 6: Final look.
- Finally, the whole craft is completed by placing a beautiful artificial flower and leaves on the top of the box. The beauty of the box has increased manifold due to the addition of the flower. It now looks like an attractive tetra box or pen holder.
Final form.


- I made this beautiful tetra box using simple materials at home such as cardboard, colored paper and glue gun. It is not only beautiful to look at, but also quite suitable for storing pens or small items. I hope you all liked my craft and Steemit challenge post today. Everyone stay well and healthy. Thank you all very much and I am ending it here as it is today.

You have described the entire process of making the tetra box beautifully. Starting from the exact measurements of the cardboard to cutting each piece and wrapping it in yellow paper, the work was quite perfect. In my opinion, the decision to use a border combination of yellow and pink paper instead of just joining the cardboard was great. It completely changed the look of a simple box. And the addition of artificial flowers and small heart shapes in the final step not only made it look beautiful but also made it quite useful as a pen holder on the work table. It is understood that the joints have become quite strong due to the use of the glue gun. It is really a show of skill to make such a beautiful decorative item with very simple materials. Best of luck to you in this contest. 😊
