1.Cut design pieces. (I used double sided card stock). The Drawer Pieces are not shown in this photo because of the number of pieces. The Drawer construction begins on image # 21.

2. Flip the tissue box top ( with scalloped edge and rectangular cut out) and large rectangle (grouped together) over and fold score lines. Apply glue to the backside of the long tab on the left edge of the large rectangle piece. Align and secure to the straight edge of the tissue box.

3. Apply glue to the backside of the scalloped piece and secure to the coordinating shape on the side flap of the tissue box top.

4. Using the rectangle piece directly above the tissue box top in image #one, flip it over and fold score lines. Apply glue to the backside of the long tab. Align with the combined tissue box top piece’s straight edge and secure into place.

5. Moving to the group with the half moon cut out, flip the design pieces over and fold score lines.

6. Apply glue to the long side tab on the smaller long rectangle piece. Align and secure to the larger long rectangle. (The tab should be on top of the larger long rectangle or inside this box piece:)

7. Apply glue to the backside of the top tab on the combined rectangle piece. Apply glue to the top side of the bottom tab of the square side piece. Slide the square piece under the combined rectangle so that the score lines on both pieces align. Secure into place.

12. Secure the combined rectangle box to the combined tissue top piece; aligning with the score line where the tissue box top folds over. Flip the remaining two pieces ( long side pieces) over and fold score lines as shown in images #13 and #14.
