Assembling the Valentines Tissue Box
First, re crease all the folds. Then separate all the embellishment pieces for each side so that you can keep them straight.
Assemble each side before you try to attach them together. Look at the pictures above to see how each side goes together. Make sure all the tabs on the side pieces are facing the same way. This is very important and a common mistake. I had one upside down when I first made one of these boxes and the sides didn’t fit together right.
Next glue all the sides to the top in a cross shape with the pieces upside down and the top of the box on top. I tried to assemble it one side at a time and it gets rather tricky. Make sure the glue is dry before you fold the sides down. Fold the sides down one at a time and glue each side to the next one at a time until you have a rectangle box.
He is a picture of a former tissue box to show the assembly. They are a assembled basically the same way. Notice that all the tabs face the same way. See the tutorial for this Spring tissue box here.
