(For example if you put glue on the top of the small middle tabs, you will now put blue on the bottom of the long center tab. )
4. Now combine the left panel to the right panel by putting the long center tab of the right panel on top of the center of the left panel, and putting the two small center tabs or the right panel on the bottom of the left panel. (This creates a lock and allows the two sides to slide together without overlapping too far which maintains the correct size.)
