Make a bend 3 1/4 inches away from each end.

Use a cutting tool to cutting out a rectangle from the middle expanse of the paper.

Cut a slice of newspaper that's a picayune longer too a picayune wider than the forepart side of your box. If you lot conduct maintain a actually large box, role wrapping newspaper for this part. Fold all sides too then that the newspaper just fits from overstep to bottom. It's okay if the newspaper wraps some the side a bit. Glue to the box.

 Glue the tag holder to the middle of the paper.

 Cut combat newspaper into five 1/4 x ii 1/2 inch rectangles. Stack them together too set them inwards the tag holder.

Write your novel label! Discard the label when you lot quest to role the box for something else.
