The decoration of the casket inside.
Put the box on the bottom of the fabric and circle. Add 0.5–1 cm to the resulting contour - these are allowances for the seams. Cut out the bottom.

In order to arrange the box outside, you must first lay out the side parts. To do this, you will need to symmetrically arrange the pasta on the sides of the box and fix them with a glue gun. If you can’t visually distribute pasta, you can use a pencil. Or lay out on a flat surface the future pattern on an appropriate scale, and then transfer it to the side.
Decorate all sides of the box with a glue gun. Work carefully, as the pasta is brittle. After painting, their strength increases significantly. Pick up and attach the legs.
Put out the cover of the casket.
