The first paper (the one that will be the outside of the box, and the base layer of the photos) should be 12 inches by 12 inches.

The third paper needs to be trimmed to 10x10. This will leave you with 3 perfectly layered pieces for your box . These layers can be embellished and decorated in many ways.

The jar lights I made created quite a bit of interest. The benefit of using LED lights over tealights is safety & if you’re having an outdoor party you don’t need to worry about weather as the light would of course be protected by the lid of the jar. Edit: I used large jars which were purchased very cheaply from a homewares store but used kitchen jars would work too. If you want uniformity with the the lids then perhaps a coat of paint?
