Using the scored lines as a guide, cut away the corners.
Round off the corners with a Xcut edger
Stick together your pieces. Start by sticking the smallest to the middle size then these to the largest.
Use double sided tape and only stick it to the middle square.

For the lid cut a squar of card 6 1/4" x 6 1/4 "
Score the lid 1 1/2" from the side.
Turn the card over and score diagonally from each corner point to the
