I'm going to come right out and say it: I'm kinda bored of making puzzles, but I still want those sweet, sweet imaginary internet points, so I'm phoning it in this time with a flat-pack rebus I bought at a puzzle warehouse. The only thing is, I can't really be bothered putting it together... Rather than completely waste my money though, I'm just posting it here, in case someone else wants to finish building it.
Above is a bog standard PZL-SE-11R puzzle socket that this rebus is compatible with (as I'm sure you've seen a million times before), and below are the instructions... Underneath that, are the puzzle components themselves.

Note: I already opened the puzzle, and discarded the packaging. The parts came as a pair of cubes, which opened out, ready to slot into the socket up the top (I think the makers have misunderstood the flat-pack concept). The cube that's in two pieces didn't break, but just came apart as it unfolded. I didn't pay attention to where it was originally joined, but I'm sure it won't make much difference...
So, yeah... Feel free to finish putting it together, and then solve the resulting rebus.
Or not... Whatever...
Edit: People have solved 99% of the instructional steps in chat, but seem to have got stuck on the final rebus itself. So to nudge things along,
Hint 1:
The rebus resolves to a short and well known phrase.
Hint 2:
If you did everything correctly, there may have been an instruction that seemed arbitrary, or even unnecessary... It was, in fact, essential.
