Instructions

    First of all I had to create a lid for my box. I made it out of a cardboard piece and I attached it to the box with tape.

    Then I covered it with wrapping paper fixing it with duble sided tape and scotch. You can decide to cover the inside too or not..

    I put the presents in the box and then put another piece of cardboard to have an even layer. Then I fixed the wooden skewers on the opposite sides of the box.

    I inflated two baloons and fixed them to the box with tape and twine. Then to make the banner draw and cut out, on different paper, few rhombus. Fold them in half and use each one to write a letter of the word you want to put on the banner. Put some tape around the pointy ends of the triangles and slide the twine inside them. Before tying the twine to the skewers finish filling the box: I put inside the cake, paper plates and glasses, paper trumpet and a card. Oh and of course I sprinkled everything with confetti!!!
