Homework 7:

Create a step by step for the box project. Use your making diary that you have completed in class to help with this. You should show each step as if it were a set of instructions for another student making this product. Use pictures and correct tool names in your explanations to help show each step.

Make sure that all text is completed on ruled pencil guidelines and that a ruler is used wherever possible. The steps should be easy and clear to follow. Maybe get someone at home to see if they could follow your instructions too.
