Saw an article covering what I was already doing (minus the fancy angle bracket) and wanted to pass it along for those who haven't seen it...

I fixed the link with archive.org but...

I've found that glue seems to work better than sticking cardstock bits to the box (for longer term solution and you can still open and close the box without fear of it coming loose again)... and that's to just use glue and press it up against a wall or other solid surface (like a stack of books, making sure of course there's no leaked glue so it sticks to that surface too!).

Gorilla wood glue can look so-so after it's fully dry, but if you make sure any beading or other mess is on the INSIDE (The part you don't see) it can be fine. I know people say you should use PVA (?) archival glue if you can find some of that, just keep in mind it may take longer to dry and might need more than one application.
