"The most important part of your diorama is your box. This is a shoe box, it's an excellent choice because it has a flat back, there's no little bits sticking out, and it has some depth to it. You don't want a shoe box like this that comes apart, it's not going to work at all, and see, there are bits and bobs sticking around. You also don't want a shoe box that has cutouts on the sides. You want a flat, flush side. You also don't want a box that's too shallow, this is way to shallow. You can take boxes that are smaller and make small dioramas. This box is great, we can patch this here and this would make a really cute little diorama. You can also make dioramas in boxes like this. This is great because you can open it up and close it very easily. You also could use a box that was square. But again, see the inside of this box, it has this flap that's coming out and that's not going to work at all. So, when you choose your box, choose something like this that's got flush sides and it's got a flat bottom and it'll be an easy way to make your diorama."
