Step 1: What You Need to Build Your Box

To build your collection box you need scissors, cellotape, 2 rulers, wrapping paper, our collection box labels, a piece of cardboard and the cardboard box of your choice.

Step 2:

To get started you need to transform your evryday cardboard box into a life-saving money collecting box. You can do this by cutting a money-sized hole into the top of it.

Step 3:

Now you need to cello tape the box shut, to keep the money from escaping.

Step 4:

We then wrapped our box, you don't need to do this, but if you do you'll end up with a much prettier collection box!

Step 5:

Now for the display panel. You need to cellotape a ruler to either side of your box. We fixed the ruler on at 11cm; enough space to stick the panel on and to keep everything fixed to the collection box.

Step 6:

Once the rulers are stuck to both sides, stick you cardboard to the rulers.

Step 7:

Now stick collection box posters to your display panel and the front of the box. Make sure you have the arrows in the right direction. (Unlike us!)

Step 8:

You should find that people around you are compelled to give you their change, even before your fundraiser starts.
