Making the Box
For this step you will need your cut and scored box pieces, clear packing tape and scissors (Photo 1).

Carefully bend down the tab flaps of your cut and scored box pieces (Photo 2). They should bend easily along the scored lines. You should be able to see the box form at this point (Photo 3). You can also check to see if any of your tabs are a bit too big and trim them accordingly so that your box has an even edge.

Using your scissors, cut small pieces of packing tape to secure the corners of your box top and bottom (Photo 4). You don't have to mummify the edges with tape; a small piece should be sufficient. When you're done taping, you should have your basic box and top created (Photo 5).
