Step by Step Assembly Instructions:

Step 1.
There are two pieces to the Matchbox die cut: the drawer (larger piece) and the outer sleeve. Decorate as desired.For the purpose of this tutorial, I am decorating with rubber stamps from Hero Arts.

Step 2.
Create outer sleeve by folding in along score lines.

Step 3.
Place Killer Red Tacky Tape along outer edge of tab. It is hard to see since the tape is also red, but look along the left side.

Step 4.
Remove the red backing liner of Killer Red Tacky Tape and adhere sides so that the tab is on the inside of the sleeve. The sleeve has now been completed.

Step 5.
No adhesive is needed for the bottom drawer. With the wrong side of the die cut facing up, simply fold all score lines towards the center of the drawer except the two outer edges as shown in the next photo. Those two outer edges need to be folded out.
