Glue This can be craft or hot glue which ever you prefer. I used silver balloons with silver ribbons. I like this kind, but any other would do. Goodies Toys, candy, cookies, or anything else you can think of. How-tos Paint the box inside and out.
Acrylic paint has a flat finish.
If you shellac the inside of the box, too, you can fill it with cookies or unwrapped candy. Cut four equal sections of cardboard tube and paint them to match the box. Then glue the feet to the bottom of the box with craft or hot glue. The feet make the box tall enough to allow the lower point of the star to extend below the bottom of the box. Other decorations you might choose may not require these feet.
