Step 3: You will need 4 colors of card stock. Using StampAnniethingDexTopper.svg Cut the background of the topper in Color #1. Cut the Word Mat in Color #2. Then cut the words IN THIS and WE in Color #3, and the word HOUSE in Color #4. (Try to co-ordinate your colors with your Memory Dex Box Base Colors.) Place the Word Mat on your base within the top two inches of the base. Attach letters using glue and tweezers if they help. Let dry.

Step 4: Chose 2 Colors of Card Stock (1 solid and 1 Pattern if you prefer). Using StampAnniethingDexBox.svg Cut 2 bases. 1 in each Color. Assemble using Double sided tape, add glue if you wish. Build first base, then build second around it for added stability. If using patterned paper make sure to build it with the pattern side out. 

Step 5: Cut Foam Board to 5 and 3/8” wide by 2 and a 1/2”” high. Use ruler and pencil to mark lines. Then use utility knife to carefully cut to size. You Will Need two. One for each end of the box. Cut two pieces of Card Stock to 5 and 3/8” wide by 2 and 5/8”” high. (Please Note Measurement has changed and a 1/4” has been added to the card stock pieces) Either Glue or Use Double Sided Tape to secure to the Foam Board pieces. Score or fold the top 1/4” so it covers the top 1/4” of the foam board when adhered. 

Some Measurements will be approximate so take your foam board covered in card stock and find the mid point using a ruler. Mark the middle. Take one of your pre made Memory Dex cards  and place on top of the foam board. Trace the memory dex cut outs. 

Take your single hole punch and place onto traced area and punch holes. 

Step 6: Attach end dowel holding pieces to the interior ends of the base using glue, double sided tape or a combination.

Step 7: Measure and cut your wooden 1/4” dowels to 6 and 1/16” long. This is to make sure they fit snuggly into place. Add glue to all for holes then insert dowels so they fit snuggly. 

Step 8: Finally attach the Topper section with the words IN THIS House WE to the back of the Merory Dex Box just above the dowels.
