Tips from the show

• Use wet glue rather than tape pens for better longevity, as tape pens can dry out and cause the box to fall apart.
• Be careful with white card as any marks from your hands will show; wash your hands before starting.
• You can decorate the outside of the box with layering dies, pine cones or other embellishments before assembly if desired.
