You should now have all the parts ready to put the torch together.
In this version I've added a string grip that was made dyed with the same food colouring as the card and left to dry.
Also a strap was added by using a paper hole punch and threading throw a piece shoelace.

Place the bulb holder into the inner wrap.
Position the battery holder in-between the bulb and the switch. When the card is wrapped tight this will align diagonally from top to bottom.
The On/Off switch slots around the battery holder in the opposite diagonal direction to form a X.
Place the reflector unit over the bulb.
Gently close the inner wrap around the parts making sure the exterior flap has the slanted edges.
Holding the inner wrap tightly, slot it into the exterior tube.

If all has gone well your torch should now be working.
