1   Paint a golden border on the edge of the lid and on the bottom and top of the box - it's important to paint the borders on the top and bottom a bit wider than the height of the lid (the border doesn't need to be straight as it'll be corrected with masking tape in the next steps).

2   Put the lid on top of the box and carefully draw a line along the lid with a pencil. Then, put the lid on the bottom of the box and draw a line here, too.

3   Place two pieces of masking tape around the box so that they follow the pencil line at the top and bottom of the box. It's very important to place the masking tape as close to the line as possible for the neatest result.

4   To ensure that the paint doesn't seep through to the golden border hidden below the masking tape, you can seal the area by painting a wide coat of gold paint where the tape and the box meet (see the photo).

5   Now paint the entire box with white craft paint and leave to dry. Apply 2-3 coats to ensure that the white paint covers the gold paint.
