Hey everybody!
I found these for a great price and got a bunch of them to use for outworlds. After buying them, I realized that instead of opening up like I thought, they slide up on two pieces. I have pictures of everything. Any ideas of how I can make a lid that is able to open on these? I thought about drilling the top out but I really would like to have a lid if possible. Any explanations would be great!

Thanks!

In Jesus,
Jonny

Sorry to say, but I don’t think those boxes are too practical. All those seams will allow ants to slip out. You could seal everything with silicone, but there are better boxes out there like the Container Store BoxBox stackable containers.
