Step 1: assemble the boxes.
Step 2: find the center point of the box and hot glue the vinyl placemat over the box so that the center points are both aligned.
Step 3: Using an awl or very carefully a pair of scissors,
punch a hole through the center point and attach the knob.
Since we're using cardboard, you'll need some additional support & backing.
For now, I used a packing envelope to add some support, but ideally some thin wood backing would be better.
& you're done. Repeat as necessary.
Total Cost: around $35.00.
