Step 7Begin covering the box
For this step you will need the decorative paper, permanent spray adhesive, folding bone, glue stick and the bottom and side pieces of your box.
Beginning with the bottom piece, spray the unmarked side with the spray adhesive. Use a distance of at least six inches for an even coat of spray glue. Place the bottom piece, spray side down, onto the appropriate pre-marked space on the decorative paper. Flip the now glued together paper and board over and use the folding bone to burnish the surface so that the outside of the box will have no air bubbles. Flip your paper and board back to the underside. Repeat steps until all your pieces are glued to the decorative paper.
Please note that when placing the pieces, be sure to leave 1/16" -1/8" space between them which should be reflected in your previously made marks. If you do not leave this space, you will tear your paper when you fold up the sides to make the box.
Starting with the right side corner, place some glue from the glue stick on the paper and illustration board. Then fold up the corner along your previous angled markings until you have created a 45degree angle on the top and side of the paper. Then, use more glue and fold down the top edge and side edge. This is very much like wrapping a present. Repeat until both sides are fully wrapped as shown.
NOTES: When using spray adhesive, work in a well-ventilated area. It is toxic and flammable. I also wear a breathing mask. If it gets on your hands, WD40 or GooGone work very well to remove it.
