Make a small slit at the center of the front side of the cigarette box about 1/4" from the bottom edge. Push the brad pin through the cardboard and the balsawood behind it. Flatten the brad flaps and secure them with a bead of hot glue.

Take the balsawood stack, and use double-stick tape on the non-black side and stick to the open side of the bradded balsawood square. This will make a small space between the black surface and the back surface of the box.

Cut the two corners off the inside lining of the pack opening. This will eliminate friction so the lid will catch less.

Take a small strip of balsawood (about 1"x1/2") and stick that in the inner edge of the top lid. This will be reinforcement for the other brad. Punch the brad in and secure with a bead of hot glue.
