Assembly

• 1). Coat the bottom flaps of the first box, which has the door, with hot glue from a hot-glue gun. Fold the flaps together. Hold them together securely until the glue dries.
  
  
• 2). Cut the long-sided opening flaps off of the first cardboard box with a utility knife. Slice off half of one of the remaining short-sided flaps.
  
  
• 3). Coat the edges of the short-sided flaps with hot glue. Fold them in, and hold them securely until the glue dries.
  
  
• 4). Coat the opening flaps of the second cardboard box with hot glue. Fold them together, and hold them securely until the glue dries.
  
  
• 5). Cut off the long-sided flaps from the bottom of the second cardboard box. Slice half of the remaining short-sided flaps, so they will be aligned with the hole in the first box.
  
  
• 6). Fold the short-sided flaps in. Coat the edges with a hot glue gun, and hold them securely until the glue dries.
  
  
• 7). Coat the top edges of the first box with hot glue. Align the second box on top of it. Hold the boxes securely until the glue dries.
