1.Cut design pieces. ( I used double sided card stock)

2. Flip Box base over ( pretty side down). Glue the watermelon shape with seed cut outs on the matching solid watermelon base- one for the top and one for the bottom half.

3. Fold score lines up on the box base pieces. Use foam adhesive squares to attach the combined watermelon pieces to their matching larger solid watermelon piece. 

4. Align the box base pieces so that the larger pieces is on the left and has the tab on the lower left and the smaller piece is on the right and has the small indented tab on the upper right. Apply glue to the backside of the long side tab on the right side smaller box base piece.

5. Align with the edge of the other box base and secure. ( You want the tab to be on the inside of your box). Apply glue to the small side tabs- one on the top and one on the bottom ( where my thumb and finger are in the picture). Secure to the rectangular tab shapes creating 90 degree angles.

6. Apply glue to the backside of the tabs closest to the outside the left box base- one on the top and one on the bottom ( where my thumb and finger are pointing). Secure to the tab directly below for the top tab and directly above for the lower tab.

7. Apply glue to the backside of the tabs closest to the center- one on the top and one on the bottom of the right side box base. Secure to the center strip.

8. Apply glue to the outer sides of the 90 degree angles on the outside of the right bottom section. Secure to the inside of the left box base sections creating a box and lining up the edges.

9. This is what it should look like:) Apply glue to the outer sides of the 90 degree angles on the outside of the right upper section. Secure to the inside of the left box base

10. Your box is now complete:) Tuck the closure tab into the slot in the bottom section to close.

11. Glue the combined watermelon pieces to the top and bottom front of your box base.

12.  Finish by adding a ribbon. Fill with goodies and enjoy:)
