OK, we're going to wrap this box with some aluminum foil, and use a cool embossing technique. I've embossed little stars on this box, and this is what we're going to be doing today. It's going to be really, really pretty and simple. But, it's not like wrapping a meatloaf. You have to be a little more ginger with your materials, because all those little creases that you don't mind when you're wrapping up leftovers, are going to make a difference with your finished product. And see how gentle I'm being with this? And I'm not going to use the serrated edge on the aluminum foil box. I'm just going to slice it with scissors. I'm making this look a little harder than it actually is. It's OK if the end is a little wonky, and I'll show you why in a second. OK, so we've got our smooth piece of aluminum foil. And now, the two rough edges, the one where I cut it off last time using the box, and the one where I just now cut it with the scissors. We're going to fold that over. That's going to reinforce, and give a crisper look to that edge, make the foil easier to work with. And it's going to hide the crimping that the scissors and the serrated box edge, invariably leave on our foil. There we go. That's nice and neat. Now, we're ready to wrap our box.
