2. Complete pre-assembly by positioning and attaching

sets if planning to attach second set to back);

position hat fur trim overlay on top of base shape,

aligning all outer edges of both shapes and attaching.

hanger base, align edges and attach; position lower

face/beard contr. overlay below hat hook shape,

align edges, and attach.

4. Position eye contrast and mouth contrast

shaped into recess cut outs and attach.

5. After shape overlays are attached (here

and through next steps as others are added),

press flat with heavy flat object such as this large

book volume, and leave in place until shapes

are completed attached in place.

6. Position beard overlay onto lower portion

of hanger assembly, abutting top straight

short edges next to hat hanger lower edge,

adjust so outer edge align, and attach in place.

cut out edge and attach; position mustache,

centered above smile with end curls extending

back over face side edges, and attach in place.

8. Position hat fur trim assembly at bottom edge

of hat hook shape. Then . . .

. . . slip cheek shapes into place

at mustache cut outs,

9. Prepare the box by bending back on all perforation

lines for panels, tabs and flaps.

10. Form the box by bending on panel perforation

lines with face side outward. At side, overlap the side

wall panel over the opposite flange, adjust and

glue in place.

One easy way to join this seam is to flatten the box

and apply pressure along the joining edges.

11. At bottom, bend the side tabs inward,

back flap down, front flap over the top and glue

all securely.

12. At top, bend the side tabs inward, bend

the top flap down and tuck the rounded end flap

behind the front panel, and push in fully.

13. With the box fully closed, apply a quick grab

adhesive such as the "Fabri-Tack" shown for

this model onto backside near all edges. Then . . .

. . . center the box over the backside of

the hanger assembly and attach in place.

Once dried and secure, the box can be

opened at the top flap . . .

. . . and filled with treats before closing again

to be ready for gifting.
