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.

rough surfaces. On the pictures above, add a number to show the order that each step would take place
and add further explanation.
Remember – the more detail the better. Comment on the type of file – the direction of movement and why
you should complete each step in that order..
