I draw out the box template to fit the bar of soap. These boxes have a bottom and the sides. Some boxes like the Wedding favor one, I will put a oval in the top and cut it out. So that way you can see the soap. The programs that I use are Photo Shop Elements II, Photo Impact and Paint Shop Pro. Paint Shop Pro is my favorite to work in. If you haven't worked in any of these programs, they do take time to learn. I have had many late nights playing in them. But once you learn them there is so much you can do. HTH
