Row 1: 12 sc, ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Skip the 1st st, 12 sc, ch 1, turn.

Consider the starting ch of each row as the 1st st, so work the last sc into this ch.

Fasten off, leaving a tail approximately 7.87″ (20 cm) long.

Glue the crochet pieces onto the cardboard squares, leaving a small edge of crochet for sewing later.

Join the pieces by sewing 4 of them along the length and 2 along the width, forming a cross.

After sewing all the parts, fold the sides to form the box.

Sew the sides of part 1 to sides 5 and 6, respectively.
