Step 10Constructing the box
For this step, you will need your paper covered box pieces, glue stick, folding bone and the high temperature glue gun.
Beginning with the right side, run a bead of hot glue into the crevasse between the side and the bottom of the box. Slowly and carefully fold the side up into proper position, at a 90degree angle to the bottom of the box. Hold steady until the glue sets, about forty seconds. Repeat on the left side, then the front and back sides. At this point, you should have a open-top box which is not glued on the corner edges.
Notice in the photo the paper tabs at the corner edges. Position the box so that you can apply glue from the glue stick onto the tabs. Then fold the tabs to attach them to the sides of the box. Now your corner edges are closed, and this completes the basic box form construction.
