Assembling the Box Cover

• 5

  Choose the photos you want to use. Use the glue stick to apply glue very lightly on their reverse sides.

• 6

  Apply the photos to the top of shoe box. If the placement isn't to your liking, they can be quickly pulled up and realigned.

• 7

  Use scissors to cut the peel-and-stick laminating sheet to fit the shoe box top, adding an extra inch or so on the long sides.

• 8

  Peel off the backing and apply to the shoe box cover. Fold the extra inch over onto the sides of the cover to make it adhere better and withstand rough handling.
