Stepping back from the edge of 1.3 cm, it is necessary to make a cut to obtain two parts of different sizes. It is important to ensure that the bobbin is cut evenly and does not bend, so that the casket is smooth and beautiful. The casket will be made of the greater part, the lid will be made of the second.

The lid on the box should hold tight, and not staggering, so you need to make a groove for it. A rectangular piece with 23.5x5 cm sides should be cut from a piece of thick cardboard.

A strip of cardboard must be connected in a ring and completely pasted with a brightly colored ribbon. Particular attention must be paid to the inside of the rounded part, since it will be inside the box.

Lubricate the prepared part with plenty of polymer glue on its outer side, not reaching the top edge of 1.5 cm. After applying the glue, the workpiece must be folded into the frame of the future casket, prepared from a reel from tape. The part glued with tape will protrude by 1 cm, this is necessary for the lid of the box, its tight closing.
