step 1 of 4

I did not create a SBS for constructing this box. However, as it really IS a New Camera's box, and I wanted to keep it in good condition just in case I had to return it, I can and did take some pics for the DEconstruction...

1. Is the front: The "lens" (or 'pin hole' in traditional, home made box cameras) was a linen counter/loop type of magnifier, which fit neatly into the opening -Tab A- made...

step 2 of 4

This is the inside, showing the black tape I used to both secure the magnifier into place (though it sat perfectly on -Tab A- when folded under), and block out the light at the edges...

step 3 of 4

Other than some calculated new folds and a little scotch tape to hold certain things flat or tight, This lens and electrical tape was all that was used to make the box ( a clear, acrylic and holder mimicking photo paper was set in the box to reflect the projected image onto).

step 4 of 4

...and the box going back together.

I specifically avoided cutting or poking anything into it, as I may have to take it back to the store (and I wanted to stay within the rules.) Only the top lid was open, the hole where the tab was prefabricated was utilized and filled to create the lens for the camera... It's position was serendipitous, not cut out on my part (thus why I used that box)... As such, I believe the submission does in fact conform to the rules and ought to be reinstated...

[actually, I'm going to exchange/resubmit the same image with this SBS included... Thanks for keeping that eye out mods...but this one was tricky, and a-okay... ;) ]
