Don't worry about drawing a perfect line for cutting - luckily I was able to use the actual box lines as a guide for cutting.

You can use any colour paper to cover your box, I just chose white. You can also use whatever images you want to cover it, I found an old art book lying around- so I cut up an image of Tete de Femme - Picasso to cover it with.

I then added some bright tape strips and taped the whole thing with clear thick tape to seal it - you could also use contact paper... et voila!

- scissors
- paper
- glue
- pen
- a cover image
- and tape.
