Making My Net....

After looking at the happy meal box I made my own very rough prototype to see if it would work. First of all I had a go at drawing It with any luck It will turn out the same!

And it seemed to work quite well the sides didn't hold to well but I put that down to flimsy stock.
I decided I would find out by making a similar net out of card. (Below)

In Conclusion I found that for the tabs on the sides to join up correctly they needed to be longer the only way to do this would be to make my box into a cube and this would ruin the design. Also after looking closely at the happy meal there is a reason why there is a slant in the box and this is to make the flaps larger so they fit this would also ruin my design. So back to the drawing board it would seem!
