Print out the template onto thin card and cut out the shapes.
Tip: To make the process easier, combine the three small shapes on the two smaller pillars into one piece. You could also enlarge any elements to make them simpler to cut out.
Unfold the box to make it easier to cut from, then carefully poke a hole into each shape.
Cut out the shapes with scissors. For smaller shapes, you may need to use a scalpel and cutting mat.
Cut a piece of the white tissue paper to fit over your design inside the cardboard box. Secure it in place with tape.
Fold the box back into shape.
Carefully poke a hole in each side of the box, then thread through the jute ribbon or twine to make a handle.
Knot the ribbon at each end to secure it.
