- Check & cutMeasure the calibration square: 20 mm both ways. Cut the outline and the two short slots.
- Score gentlyUse a ruler on every dashed line. Keep the printed side facing inside.
- Make the sleeveFold the four panels. Glue the 10 mm seam under panel 1; let it dry around an empty sleeve.
- Close one endFold the two narrow dust flaps in, then the slotted flap over them.
- Lock the tongueFold the remaining flap over. Gently bend its tongue through the slot and underneath.
- Add your little thingSlide it in, then close the other end the same way. The note waits inside.
