ENVELOPE ASSEMBLY

11. Prepare the dimensional envelope shape

by bending back on all tabs, flanges,

or panels.

12. Layer and attach a pair of circles (twice) for

twine wrap fastener.

13. Cut a 6 to 7 inch length of twine, and insert
end through flap hole front to back . . .

. . . and glue tail in place on the underside of flap.

14. Insert eyelet/rivet through one of the circle units,

then insert through the flap circle, trapping

the twine.

Use eyelet tools to set the eyelet securely.

(This will also securely attach twine.)

Here is the completed flap circle with twine.

15. Position and attach the body circle

in the same fashion (but without twine).

16. Form the envelope body into a "tube"

to bring the plain edge of the side panel to

overlap the flange tab of the "front" panel . . .

. . . and glue in place.
NOTE that the envelope "tube" can be
flattened in order to apply pressure along
the side seam to secure more fully.

17. Fold the bottom side tabs inward,

bend the bottom tab inward to tuck inside

the bottom of the box.

When ready, the envelope is closed

by bending the top side tabs inward

and top flap down to overlap body.

Insert the Dove Chocolate candy flower card

into the box envelope . . . 

. . . then wrap the twine in figure-eight style
around the fastener circles to secure.
