Step 1 (continued):

It’s okay if you overlap some of the

cut lines when scoring. Make sure you

have something underneath the page

that won’t be damaged. It’s very easy to

leave indentations in fancy wood tables!

Step 2:

Using scissors, cut from the edge of the page into

the box along the line marked with the scissors

icon, between panels H and L. Only cut up to the

perpendicular fold line that marks the right edge of

panels J and M. It’s okay if you cut past this line a

tiny bit (1 to 2 mm).

Repeat the process for the cut line

between panels K and N.

Step 3:

Cut out the rest of the box from

the page. You can cut the semi-circular

indentation in panel M with scissors,

or by using a 9/16” hole punch.

Step 4:

Cut into the box on both sides of panel C,

up to the perpendicular fold line at the tops

of panels E, F, and G. Again, it’s okay if you

cut a tiny bit past the fold line. It’s better to

go a little past the line than to not cut deep

enough. That way, it will be easier to fold.

Step 5:

This is the tricky part: Cut along the line

between panels H and J, up to the fold line

along the bottoms of panels E and F. The line

between panels H and L was already cut in

Step 2, but it’s helpful if you fold panel L down

first so you can access the cut line with your scissors.

Repeat the process for the cut line

between panels J and K.

Step 6:

Fold the remaining fold lines. Folds should

be made in only one direction: If you hold the box

in front of you, looking at the artwork side, make

the folds away from you, not towards you.

Step 7:

Apply glue, double-sided tape, or glue tape

to panels E, G, H, and K. Now, fold the box so

that panels H and K are glued to the back of

panel J (which will be the bottom of the box).

Fold panel M up and then glue panels E and G

to the backs of panels L and N, respectively.

Done!

The final box should look something like this.

In this picture, we are looking at the blank sides of

panels A, B, C, and D. The artwork will be on the

other side of these panels, so that it’s visible when

the box is closed.

Additionally, panel F is not labeled. It is the panel

that makes up the back of the box (opposite panel M).
