Step 5: Step 5: Finish Building Your Box

Fold all of the pieces over so your box looks like a box. Tape all of the outside edges, trying to cover any light gaps. The darker the inside of your box, the clearer your image will be. You can also cover the outside in dark paper if you choose.

Using the template provided, cut out your screen holder. If you use a file folder like I did, cut two pieces and tape them together, this will make it a little more sturdy. Make sure and add your score lines as well. This will be where you fold the holder up into a frame.

Step 7: Step 7: Fold Up Your Frame and Tape It Together

This is the only tricky part of this project. Fold up your frame on the score lines so the corners tuck into a small V. See the picture for detail. Tape over the V and secure all four corners. When you're done your frame should look like the photo!

Cut out a piece of paper or vellum slightly larger than your frame opening. Tape it over the inside of the frame.
