Make a school folder from a cereal box

Step 5 Cut the panel and prepare to assemble

Cut a panel as shown. It should be 4 and 3/8 inches tall and 1/4 inch narrower than the width between the left and right scored folds in the jacket. This makes gluing and folding a lot easier. The center fold should be aligned with the jacket center fold. All other folds should not be aligned with any of the jacket folds.

Using your hole punch, knife and straight edge cut the center slot and notch as shown.

Set the panel on top of the jacket aligned at the center fold with the top edge aligned with the horizontal cut in the side flaps.
