  1. Cut the design pieces.
  2. Fold all score lines. Turn the box base over (pretty side down)
  3. Apply glue to the center panel of the top box section.
  4. Attach the top of the bottom box section centering it and secure into place.
  5. Apply glue to the top side tabs and secure them to the box panels below them.
  6. Apply glue to the bottom side tabs and secure them to the box panel above them.
  7. You should have a box shape:)
  8. Apply glue to the bottom creased edge on one of the smaller heart shapes. I used hot glue which is messy…but dries quicker and helps if you have a short attention span;) Center it on top of one of the larger heart shapes and secure into place.
  9. This is what your heart should look like.
  10. Repeat for all of the heart pairs. Apply glue to the bottom creased edge of one of your combined heart shapes. 
  11. Match it up to the heart flower base and secure it into place. Repeat for all of the heart shapes on both of the flower bases.
  12. This is what it should look like. I used a enamel adhesive dot for the center of each flower.
  13. Apply glue to the backside of one of the flower bases, careful no to glue the bottom tab. The tabs need to remain separate.
  14. Center and secure the backside of the other flower base creating a two sided flower.
  15. Slide the tab of the combined flower section into the top slot on the box top.
  16. Separate the tab on the inside of the box and apply glue to the top of each tab. 
  17. Secure the tabs to the inside top of the box.
  18. Finish with a ribbon:)
