Steps Simplified
1. print on to card stalk paper (thick paper)
2. cut
3. “Score Edges” [use exacto knife & ruler make an incision following the dotted lines. Make sure to not press too hard or else you will cut through it. The idea is to make it easier to bend. If you were to simply fold the edges, the thick paper will have crinkle lines & look unprofessional.
4/5. You can either assemble the project first (starting with the bottom) using hot glue OR Decorate it first. Decorating is usually easier to do 1st but it all depends.
& your done!
