Layer the arches in this order so that the vellum is sandwiched by the 2 front arch sections. Do the same for the back arch 

Your finishes arch section will look like this

Glue the spacer where you see the green highlight on the image to the right

There are dash location marks on the arches for you to line the spacers up with the glue tabs fold upwards

Now fold the other end of the spacer upwards and apply glue 

Line up the second arch with the glue tabs making sure you keep it in line with the other arch as you see in the lower image on the left

Now slot the bottom of the arches into the base open out the glue tabs and glue in place thi will make the arch stand upright.

The spacers are also tea light shelves they just sit on the shelf
