3. From the foil we cut out a circle that will be slightly larger in diameter than a box of curds. After that, wrap our foil-cut base-box. Superfluous edges accurately we bend inside.
4. To hide the bare cardboard box inside we glue another circle of foil, only smaller.
5. Just wrap and cover from the box.
