There are many video tutorials on youtube.

Go to Waltons or the like an ask them for an old shipping carton. They might have a couple that haven't been broken down.

Don't use packing peanuts - they're expensive and worthless. You should fill in the gaps between case and carton with tightly packed newspapers.
