Some people prefer a double stick tape but then again it is up to your individual choice. You're going to need a good pair of scissors as well as a ruler. These are the basic essentials. Let's take a look at how to work them.

Next you are going to turn the little round to the narrow end and fold like you would forward a package and put a diagonal crease along the bottom. If you want to add an extra layer of security you can open the folds and staple on the edge of the lid and then refold the ends and the creases last. Make sure you do the same process on the other end. With the scissors, you want to clip the top of the corners and add tape to the inside of the lid.
