Base continued 25. Line tab 1 up with the ring and wrap it around the ring. Hold it in place with your hand. Make sure the shading matches (green to green) and the numbers (1) match.

26. While holding tab 1, line tab 2 up with the ring and wrap it around. Hold both in place with your hand.

27. Continue wrapping each tab around the ring. Always hold the two preceeding tabs in place.

Some of the earlier tabs may not remain in place as you work around, but keep going as you can fix those later!

Slide the white catches of the last tab under the first one, so there is no white showing. If any of the white catch-es are still showing, you can pull out the next tab and replace it until you have com-plete rows of windows on the inside and out-side.

If any of the inside windows do not remain in place as you open and close the box, you can easily smooth them back with your fingers, or if you like, use a spot of glue.
