Step 4Cut the Box to Size
Now that the notebook is prepared you must make ready the VHS box. I did most of the cutting free hand but if you have a problem with that or want to make it perfectly straight you can use a ruler. Also, a stiff page of the notebook you just took apart would make a good straight edge if you can't find a ruler.
Start by cutting the box apart on the seems. Save the extra parts of the box for later. After you have the font and back of the box apart you will probably need to cut them down to size. I cut them down only across the short length. (To clarify: the cuts made the rectangle shorter.)
To determine what size I should use I placed the old notebook cover on top of the VHS box and cut the box down to approximately that size. Again, you can use a ruler if you like, but make sure to leave the cover slightly larger than the pages so that it overhangs them slightly.
Lastly, line up the front and back and make sure they match. You may have to do additional trimming here.
