What You'll Need Materials Battery-powered candle or outdoor-safe light fixture Plastic box Waterproofed fabric ribbon Scissors Electrical tape Utility knife Instructions Using a utility knife, cut a small hole in one side of a ready-made plastic box to provide ventilation. Anchor a battery-powered candle or outdoor-safe light fixture in the hole. Cut waterproofed fabric ribbon long enough to wrap around three sides of box, leaving extra to be secured with electrical tape inside the box. Repeat with additional lengths of ribbon, imitating a wrapped gift. Tie a bow, and affix it to the box top with tape.
