Cut a piece of the gold metallic craft paper measuring the entire length plus 1/4 inch and the exact height of the side of the oval box lid. Cut another piece of the gold metallic craft paper the entire length plus 1/4 inch and the exact height of the bottom side of the oval box.
Apply glue to the wrong side of the craft paper, especially around the edges. Attach the paper to the side of the box, lining up the top and bottom edge of the paper with the edges of the box and overlapping the edges on narrow part of the oval. Repeat this process with the bottom part of the box.
Use the lid of the box to trace the oval shape onto the wrong side of the gold craft paper. Cut out the shape. Trace the oval shape of the bottom part of the box onto the wrong side of the gold craft paper and cut out.
Apply glue to the wrong side of the craft paper oval traced from the lid. Attach the paper to the top of the box, lining up all of the edges. Repeat with the bottom part of the box.
Cut one piece of the black ribbon and two pieces of the gold ribbon the entire width of the center top of the oval box lid.
Using craft glue, attach the piece of the black ribbon centered on the top of the oval box lid and glue the two pieces of gold ribbon on the top and bottom edge of the black ribbon. Small amounts of glue can be added to the cut edges of each side of the ribbon to prevent fraying.

Apply glue to the gold ribbon and attach it to the top and bottom sides of the box starting where the craft paper overlaps on the end of the box.
