Second shape out the key spaces and shape out the mouse space on only one of the cardboard pieces(set the pieces aside to use them for later), When shaped out should look like the image on the right. When you are done, cut out the cardboard that is left of the shaped pieces and glue it onto the other piece of cardboard. FOR THE TOP PIECE ONLY cut a small space like the image on the left.

Making the Top/screen

Cut two more pieces of cardboard just like in step one but DO NOT shape them out, then cut a small piece at the front just like in the last step(make sure it is the exact same shape and size as the cut from the last step). When done it should look like the image from step 2 except without the extra lines.

Connecting the Top and Bottom

Cut a small piece of cardboard twice the size as the small cut in the bottom and the top. Then cut it right in the middle, BUT DO NOT CUT IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Then bend it up and glue one side to the small piece from the bottom to look like the image on the top right. The glue the part that is sticking up to the small section on the top to look like the big image. When done put all the pieces that were put aside in step 2 back into the spots they fit into.
