Instructions

  1. Small 110257 2f2015 08 03 141740 20150720 195809 1

    Cut the opening on both side of the box.

  2. Small 110257 2f2015 08 03 141802 20150723 134822 1

    Paint the box white or any other color of your choice but it should be a light one.

  3. Small 110257 2f2015 08 03 141844 20150730 144309 1

    Print out the Arc de Triomphe (http://madebyjoel.com/2011/08/paper-city-paris.html) and draw it on your box. If you feel confident you can do it directly with a permanent marker. I did it in a pencil first and then used a Sharpie, actually I needed 3 markers to finish up the job.
