Decorate the base of the box and the top of the box. After the box is decorated, build the box. To recycle the box, use dimensionals to pop the image allowing the strap to slide in and out. If you do not want to be able to reuse the box, there is a piece of adhesive on the strap to you can seal the gift. Line the interior with tissue paper or filler material for a polished look. - Choose the Contents
