Cut all of the 2.5″ score lines up to the intersecting score line.

Fold back the 2.5″ tabs on one side.

On the opposite end, cut the 2nd and 4th tabs to half their length.

Adhere all the paper panels to the white card panels.

Adhere the panels to the card base as shown.

Apply adhesive to the 0.5″ tab and fold inwards.

Fold the card base in half over the 0.5″ tab to secure.

Open up the box and turn upside down so that the bottom is facing upwards, with the two short pieces to the sides.

Fold in the long pieces, then fold down one of the short sides. Apply adhesive to the edge, then fold the other short side down over it to secure.

Turn the box upright.
