3. Push down to secure them in place on both sides.
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.
16. Add foam adhesive to the back of the apple piece
17. Adhere on the box as shown.
18. Place the "teacher" sticker on the tag and tie twine to the top then adhere it the tag to the box and use foam adhesive to adhere the bus piece as shown! All there is left to do is fill the box with goodies for the new teacher!
