- First of all, the casket must have a flat bottom, so cut out a smooth rectangle from the cardboard the size you need. From above on it you will stick boxes.
- To be neat, you must first place the boxes at your discretion, but only then stick them. Boxes can be covered with gouache or acrylic paint, gently glue with foil or paper from all sides. You can make painting or cut out paper flowers and ornaments, and then glue them.
- When you finished decorated boxes, you need to glue them to cardboard. On top of one tier, you can still do two or three - you will have many storage compartments.
- The ends can be placed in one sheet of paper or fabric so that they look neatly. As a handle to improvised boxes, beads can be glued. In addition, you can make a bowl of ribbons or paint drawings.
