Step-by-Step Instructions
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Butter knife
Cord
Butter knife
Soft cloth or towel
Lay your shadow box facedown on a clean towel. Carefully bend back each black flexible tab using a butter knife. Remove the black backing board.
Next, remove both mat boards: one with a V-shaped slot and the other with a single rectangular slot. Set aside the mat with the V-shaped slot.
Locate the black plastic cord holder with three pegs. Set the cord holder with three pegs. Set the cord holder inside the rectangular slot and gently pop it into place so that it’s flush with the mat.
Turn over the single-slot mat board. Use transparent tape to secure the back of the black plastic cord holder to the white side of the mat board.
Fold your graduation cord in half. Next, loop the cord into a knot allowing 11 inches from the bottom of the knot to the tips of the cord’s tassels
Slip the cord knot onto the first peg of the cord holder. Weave the remainder of the cord over and under the pegs until you are pleased with the arrangement.
