FOR LOCK :

As I was having trouble keeping the box close I decided to make lock for it so it remains shut when it is on.

So I used some leftover cardboard to make it. cut out the pieces of cardboard as I have shown in image we need two set of it though. And assemble as shown in image.

Note : I used a small sick to use it as handle for slider mechanism.

FOR HANDLE :

Take a cardboard strip and use a scale or ruler to fold it as marked on it to make a handle and stick it with glue gun
