1
Cut two squares of 3.5 x 3.5 inches (9 x 9 cm) from kraft paper.

Cut a strip of 3.9 x 1.5 inches (10 x 4 cm) and score it in the middle at 0.7 inches (2 cm).
3
Using a T-ruler, measure 0.6 and 2.9 inches (1.5 cm and 7.5 cm) along the bottom edge and mark these points.
4
Draw lines from the top corners to the marked points at the bottom (on both pieces).
5
Cut along these lines.
6
Use a craft knife to make a small slit along the score line, not too close to the edges.

Apply double-sided tape to both flower pot pieces.

Repeat with the other piece.
