Next, use the ruler to line up 2 of the marks on the diagonal. Then, use the scoring tool to score the paper. Repeat this process on the opposite side as well.

Then, fold in the paper on the score lines.

Step 3: Score Other 2 Edges

Now, mark the paper of the folded edge, half an inch down from the corner.

Repeat for the other side and score across from mark to mark.

Now, use the Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Plus and run some adhesive along the bottom edge of the two side flaps.

Then, fold up the bottom flap and press onto the adhesive firmly.
