Well i made 5 panels. 1 for the top and 4 for the sides. The bottom is just the rig for holding the enclosure and the light bulb.
First to make the panel you need to sand down 5 ohp papers on one side properly to make them translucent for better diffusion of light.
Then we need to cut 5 black papers for the design using a cutter. I kind of messed up with the real design of the panel in minecraft but it is ok lol.
Then I stuck some cardboard strip to the sides to support the panels and then stick all the panels together.
Then I applied some masking tapes on the sides and bottom to smooth the edges and hide the crappy sides of cardboard and painted them black with acrylic paint
The Stand

Well i made a stand using 2 20x20 cm cardboard for the bottom base, a support for height and bulb adapter and the main base. I also attached a light bulb adapter and some support things at the corners of the main base so that the enclosure is aligned properly.
I again applied some masking tapes on the sides and painted them black.
(I had run out of black acrylic paint so i couldn't paint the masking tapes at the bottom properly)
And Done!

Well then just let the paint dry then place the enclosure on the main base and you are done!
