Step 1
First step is to use card or some other reinforced material to draw out the template of a take out carton on to.
(or you could just use one of the cartons you already have)
But remember to cut a circular hole for the light fixture to go through at the base of the box. Roughly 3.5cm diameter if your in the UK.
In my project I used mirrored card (as part of my A-Level).

Step 2
At this stage of cutting out the template you can decide whether or not you want a pattern or other detail on the box to let out light.
I laser cut a butterfly pattern onto the box when I cut it out, but using a paper puncher of a circle or love hearts will work just as well in creating more holes for light.
