4.  Place adhesive under the tabs to secure them in place.
5.  Place adhesive along the outer edge of each side.

14. I modified the circle box cut by removing the closure tabs in the handle piece and discarded the scallop wrap piece (shown in step 1 photo).
15. Cut a piece of velvet ribbon and tie in a knot.  Trim the ends in angles.
