2. Fold inwards along all the fold lines as indicated on example below (Heavy Folds)
   
3. Place glue along the outside of the Flap and glue it to inside of opposite side, making a box open at both ends
    
4. Fold down both Tab 1's -  90 degrees.
   
5. Place glue along the inside of both Tab 2's and fold them 90 degrees onto Tab 1, pressing all the tabs together to make the bottom of the box. 
   
   
   
6. From the remaining cardboard cut a handle - 30cm long x 1.5cm wide per box
7. Place glue along 2cm of each end of the handle on the same side, attach the glued sections to the inside middle of each of the narrowest sides of the box, making a carry handle for your party bag.
