When I first made and heard about Chinese Thread Books, in the 90s, the ones I saw had twist boxes on top. Folded and glued together., then glued on top of the box below. Now I use a variety of boxes I use for the ones. And several different ways to make the inner boxes. I have made them in all sizes. From quite small to much larger. Some of mine have 20-30 different types and sizes of boxes in one “book”. They are fun to make with different ways of opening, not different box types, but ways to configure them.
