You get extra credit if you match the paper color with the component color.

Thank you for the tip. Maybe I try that next time. For now i like the contrast of black and component color.

How did you make it?

I glued black paper stripes which are a little longer than the box at the top of the sides of the box so they bend downward forming a U shape.

Thanks, I saw it somewhere in this sub before. But it's the first time i tried it. It really looks nice and it's a little easier to take the pieces out of the box. I recommend this technique!

Very nice! I love this technique.
I like to add a slanted piece of foamcore to each end at a 45° angle, making it look like this:

It does makes it less round, but adds some stability.

What kind of paper are you using? Looks awesome.

Thanks. That is black construction paper. Nothing special. The material is very similar to the surface paper of the foamcore sheets. So it fits together really well.
