1. Cut out all
pieces and fold the box accordingly.
2. Paint-glue
the corner tabs found on both the top and bottom box
pieces.
3. Adhere the
tabs to the interior blank surfaces of the box
pieces. Use tweezers to get a good bond.
4. Paint-glue the fold-down
lining panels. Use tweezers to squeeze the crease
line. This helps ensure that the lid will fit.
5. Note the flap on the end of
the box lid. Paint-glue this flap to the exterior
surface of the back of the box. This creates a false
hinged lid.
6. Make sure that the top and
bottom lining panels fit well. Paint-glue the panels
in place.
7. Take the book cover and fold
the four sides along crease lines. Paint-glue into
place.
8. Fold along the white dotted
lines to form the spine. Paint-glue the end boards
as shown.
9. Stack pages and clip. Paint
a thick coat of glue to the spine area. Allow to dry
thoroughly.
10. Take the dried stack and
add another layer of glue. Position the stack along
the spine area. DO NOT CLOSE!
11. Prop the book as shown
above. If the book is closed before the glue dries,
the first and last pages will glue to the cover.
12. The last step is putting on
the dust jacket. Line up the spine label with the
book and hold in place. Carefully fold flaps around
the book’s edges.
13. The second set of
Changelings are for you to make and store in the
matching box. Detailed instructions are on the
book’s second page.
Fold at feet and fold at dotted lines where the “A”
tabs are. Glue back of legs together. Then glue the
back of the lamb’s head to the back of the other
lamb’s head. Glue the back of Mary’s head to the
other Mary’s head.
