Take the old cover or back of the notebook (hereafter "template") and lay it on the box cover or back on the non-printed side. Line up the edges of the template and the box piece so that the hole edges are flush. Tape the two together temporarily if necessary. Now use the pencil to mark all of the holes you will make. Make a mark around the entire circumference of the circle, not just a single dot. When done remove the template.

Note: It is crucial that you do use the original cover as a template as the holes in the notebook are usually not perfectly aligned. Thus, if you measure and place holes your holes might not line up with the holes on the notebook.

After you have done one side of the VHS box you don't have to do the other. Just line up the front and the back of the VHS box and punch them both at once. Make sure to line them up as shown so that you punch the correct edges on the front and the back. Check this alignment twice and then tape those two together temporarily on the three non-hole edges.
