Then cover the entire box top, bottom and sides (leaving the glass part exposed) in wrapping paper so it does not look like cardboard. On the right side of the Plexiglas window make a dollar slot, a coin slot, and put in the toilet bowl flusher handle.

I did this by cutting two slits down about 12 inches apart then a slit across from one end to the other then you put letters that say PUSH. I made it so that I can dispense real candy when some one came and
