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

2. Fold the box base at the score lines. Glue the two eye circles to the eye base. Glue the apple to the apple base with stem. Glue the smaller beak to the larger one; centering and aligning at the top.

3. Apply glue to the top two tabs on the box base and secure to the owl shape above. Use foam adhesives squares to attach the combined eyes to the owl base.

4. Apply glue to the bottom two tabs on the box base and secure to the round shape below forming a complete box. Use a piece of foam adhesive square to attach the combined beak to the coordinating shape in between the eyes.

5.-6. Apply glue to the circular section of the box base and secure the wings; center and align at the bottom. Glue the two small wings and forehead to the combined owl. Glue the two feet into place on the combined owl.

7. Use a foam adhesive square to attach the combined tail section.

8. Turn the box around so that the bird silhouette is facing you. Glue the combined owl to the front of the box base.

9. Insert the handle into the side slots on the box.  Repeat for the other side. 

10. Add enamel jewels to accentuate the eyes. Use pieces of foam adhesive square to attach the combined apple to the box base.

1.Cut design pieces.

2. Fold the score lines on the two handle bases. Glue the scalloped handle pieces to the front of each of the handle bases; centering around the coordinating shape of the handle.

3. Apply glue to the backside of one of the combined handle base pieces being careful not to apply glue to the bottom section under the score line. Glue the backsides of the two combined handle bases together.

4. Image of the two bottom sections not glued together:)

5. Flip the caddy box base over ( pretty side down). Fold the score lines on the caddy box base. Apply glue to the backside of the two top tabs. Secure to the panel in the center.

6.Repeat for the bottom two tabs forming a box shape. 

7. Apply glue to the bottom sections of the combined handle piece. Center and attach to the inside of the caddy box base.

8. Image of the combined handle piece glued inside the caddy base.

9. Flip one set of the marker box pieces over (pretty side down). Fold the score lines. Apply glue to the backside of the scalloped edge of the smaller marker box piece. Align with the circles and score lines of the larger marker box piece and secure.

10. Apply glue to the backsides of the top center and bottom center tabs. Secure to the rectangle shapes above and below to the left of the tabs.

11. Apply glue to the tabs in the center of the combined marker box and secure to the large rectangle to the right.

12. Apply glue to the small tabs and the long tab. The two small tabs fit inside the box and the long tab is also glued inside the marker box.

13. Image of the tab being secured. Repeat for the other two marker box pieces.

14. Helpful Hint- I used the end of a paintbrush inside of the marker holes to help secure the tabs into place.

15. I finished with a ribbon:)
