How to make
Start by painting the box all over (inside and out) then set aside to dry.
Top Tip: Depending on the paint you use, you may need to give the box a second coat of paint for a nice solid finish.
Tie a length of twine around the box and secure on top of the lid with a bow.
Arrange the Christmas stickers in a cluster using 3D foam pads for added height.
Fix in place on top of the box lid using more 3D foam pads.
Repat the same process for the remaining box, then fill with your gift.
