Step 5Score the Box Pieces for Folding

Score the Box Pieces for Folding
For this step you will need the craft knife, ruler and box top and bottom pieces (Photo 1).

Starting on the fronts of the pieces, use your ruler to mark a straight line between the corners as shown in Photo 2. You will be scoring these edges which are shown as dotted lines in the template. Scoring is not cutting all the way through the board. 2-3 passes with the craft knife should be sufficient.

When you have scored all around the front of the pieces, flip them and repeat the process on the back (Photo 3). I only run the craft knife once on the back just to help make sure that I don't cut all the way through the board. You should have two pieces which look like Photo 4 when you are finished.
