It's a great way to collect something you want to display, something that's too big for your box, or to display your awesome gift.

Also works great for bringing dinner to a family... pack an open box to make it much cuter than a box, but they don't have to go back.

Supplies needed to pick up an open box:

1 cardboard (cut off the top wings)

clean the tape

Tape for rolls (you can always use clean tape and roll it up)

If you're lucky enough to get your hands on wrapping paper with grid lines on the back, you'll find this very easy.

Step 1: Cut the paper

To start, cut a piece of wrapping paper to fit all four sides of the box. Then cut the corner of the paper at the edge of the box at a 90 degree angle as shown in the image:

Repeat cutting corners on all four sides.

Stage 2: wrinkles

Fold the edge of each flap of paper about an inch.

Step 2: Fold Fold the edge of the paper flap about an inch.

Step 2: Tape

Tape all sides of the paper and wrap the top.

If you don't have a sticky roller, roll out the pieces of tape and stick them to the paper.

Step 2: Masking Tape Apply masking tape to all sides of the paper and wrap the top.

Step 3: Collect

Wrap it over the box and put the lid on the box.

Step 3: Roll them up in the box and put the lid on the box.

Repeat this procedure for all 4 sides.

Now the box is covered with the entire outside of the box and can be filled with all kinds of sweets. You can also take the time to cut out the pieces in the box.

Simply cut a sheet-size panel out of the side of the box and seal it inside.

Or just add tissue paper and gifts and you probably won't see the inside of the box at all!
