Step 11Glue the Covering Paper to the Box
For this step you will need your prepared box pieces with their trimed cover sheets, glue stick and scrap piece of paper.
Place your box with cut flaps down on your scrap piece of paper. Starting with the long side, run the glue stick completely over the covering paper including the edges and flaps (Photo 1). Gently bend the paper up to the side of the box (Photo 2) and apply pressure to the flaps against the box so that they affix (Photo 3). Repeat this with the angled side which has a flap. (The one that looks like a backwards 1.) Skip the straight flaps and continue gluing up the next long side and angled side with a flap. You should have a box that looks like Photo 5. Glue those flaps up last. There shouldn't be any of the original illustration board of the box showing through the paper.
