How to pack a shoebox

I have been a Operation Christmas Child volunteer for a few years and I think that people once and for all should in easy terms know how to pack a shoebox for OCC.

1. Find a Shoebox Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately ( so you can open it.) Avoid cheap "dollar store boxes" if you want to get a plastic box get one from Walmart and make sure the lid comes off (not hinged.) And make sure the latches are sturdy (if there are latches.) I suggest 6 Quart boxes if you are getting a plastic box.

(For plastic boxes click HERE, HERE, HERE , HERE, HERE, or, HERE.) Click HERE to learn how to "wrap" the in side of a plastic box with a bandana. If you want to use a cardboard box make sure it's sturdy and you can go to your local shoe store and ask for some.
