File boxes cardboard

Next I taped off both of the sides of the front box piece at an angle from the back edge to the front. I did this because this is the part that will be exposed once these are put together and I don't want sticky spray adhesive on those parts. Now spray the bottom and untaped sides of this piece with spray adhesive.
Reassemble the hanging file and hold the sides in place with an extra piece of tape and I used a clothes pin as well. I left it like this overnight, though spray adhesive works quite quickly. I did find the clothes pins to be very handy to hold the top of the sides while they dried.
Here is what it looks like when it was done drying.
Now I taped all the cut edges with black masking tape. I think this gives it a finished look. I also taped along the sides where the two pieces overlap. I actually used two pieces on each side because it wasn't as wide as I wanted it to be.
You can't hardly tell that it is there. I like how the masking tape blends in really well.
Finally I was able to decorate them. I cut pieces of scrapbook paper to cover the front and the inside of the file. I attached them with doublesided tape (because I use it for everything). I cut the paper so that there would be an 1/8" of the black still showing around all of the sides.
Finally for the hanging ribbon. Measure in from each side 3".
