Band Boxes

Has anyone made band boxes before? I'm wondering what sort of weight of paper works best, any tips. We have a few we've bought from historic museums over the years but I'd love to make these are reusable gift boxes for Christmas, etc.

Here's what they look like. I tried to find a kit since that's often a good way to try out a new craft, but I couldn't find much out there.

I love the idea of making boxes like this. There seems to be several you tube videos on how to make them, although probably practise will make perfect!

I think the weight of paper will depend on what you want it to contain. That seems pretty obvious - if you need it to contain heavier objects then thicker card is needed. I guess there is a limit to how thick the card can be so you can still make the curves.
