Signing UpStep 1: Open it up!
The first thing you need to do is unfold and open your empty crayon box without taking it apart. You don't want to rip it, you just want to be able to spread it out flat. The only ripping you should be doing is detatching the left side panels of the crayon box from eachother. You'll know what I mean when you are taking it apart. It should then look like the first picture. This is your stencil.
Next, you need to position your stencil on your cool looking cardboard. You want to position the left half of the stencil on the design that you want the front of your crayon box to look like. This is the half that was the front of the empty crayon box.
