How to make double compartment boxes

I had such fun making these integral double compartment boxes. They are suitable for any occasion, but for this post, it’s all about Valentines! You can size them up, or size them down! The one in Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand are in Imperial measurments, and the Bermuda Bay and Real Red ones are in metric. There’s quite a big difference between the Imperial size and the Metric size!
