(39) Red Fox Diner Construction: How to Make Grocery Boxes

This is an explanation of how I made grocery boxes for my retro diner diorama:

 

1. Find images on line (through Google images) to duplicate. Bring them into Microsoft Publisher. These are the vintage Warhol boxes. Sometimes I can use the graphics on the box, but in the case of the ketchup, I had to create it from scratch because I could not find one at the right angle (straight ahead).

 

2. Create a copy of the box in Microsoft Publisher using text boxes and basic shapes.

 

3. Print on cardstock. I had a piece of tan.

 

4. Cut/score the box.

 

5. Glue the box together. I left the top open so diner employees could get items out of the box as needed.
