There are several ideas about how to do this on Pinterest. You can simply measure your cardboard box and cut the shims to the correct measurement to cover all the sides either vertically or horizontally. Glue the shims using a thick glue such as wood glue or even hot glue. You can stain, paint or leave the shims as they are. And here's a link to many other ideas for using shims. Hope this is helpful. :) http://www.cheercrank.com/amazing-wood-shim-diy-tutorials/
