1. First you need to prepare a candy box. It must be clean, without candy wrappers and chocolate chips.

3. In order to decorate the lid and bottom of such a box as neatly and aesthetically as possible, you will first need to glue the side areas. The corners must be carefully trimmed, and then also carefully bent inward. At all stages, paper must be taken with a small margin.
4. Using sheets of plain paper you will need to decorate the inner cavity of the future attractive box.
5. When the interior design is completed, the box must be put aside and not touched until it is completely dry.

“Candy” boxes make especially attractive and elegant boxes. Almost any type of container in question is suitable for carrying out such manufacturing work.
