I made this tut in PI2000. But again, you can do it in any version, just have to look around for things. This box will take at least 4 graphics, one for each window and the top of the box. You will need this zip of the frame.(if you downloaded it for the easy trinket box tut, then don't download it now, it is the same)

Once you have chosen your 4 graphic, you will now place each one behind each window of the frame. You need to keep them in order so you can see them overlap each other. You will do them one at a time, each time trimming each graphic to fit in each window.

You can slant the side graphics slightly, to make it look more real. And with the top, I used a filter under Picture Putty to make it look more prospective.

Once you have all the graphics placed. You can now do a couple things. You can add something on top of the box. A handle or something. I have just chosen a kitty! You can also choose the frame and add a little bit of a shadow, and move it so that it gives the windows a little bit of a shadow shading, this is up to you. You can also choose to fill the frame with color and play around with the illusions to make it look different. If you bevel the frame it will make it more shaded also. The ideas are endless! Here are some others I made.
