In the video, a person is seen holding a small white box in their hand. They then proceed to place a piece of paper on the side of the box. The person then takes another piece of paper and places it on top of the first one, creating a layered effect. The person continues to add more layers of paper to the box, each time carefully placing it on top of the previous layer. The final result is a small white box with a layered paper design on the side.
