I left a comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/25979420

In general, I would glue 5 pieces of cardboard using paper to make the underside of the box. Then I'd put the items in and glue on more layers to fill in the leftover space. After finishing the top layer, I'd leave the items inside the box for a few days to dry and shrink

After that, you can add more paper to make the surface harder, or glue on anything you want.
