Make your flying nuns at home! Or, just fold the background fabric in half to find the center, and finger press to get just enough of a crease so you'll know where to pin.

Pack everything you can into stackable plastic bins with integral lids. These are cheap and plentiful at Home Depot, OSH, Big Lots, et al.
The wind can't steal my lid and fill my bin with playa dust!
Also: it helps to have an area in your house or garage to use as a staging area for your BM gear, so that once you've packed something, you can be certain that you won't forget and leave it behind.
Note: If you just want a cover, the bottom frame is not necessary (just hem the bottom, according to original instructions).
Note2: If you'd like a full bottom piece, you'll have to sew the box into the cover. It's possible, but will take extra finagling.
Original instructions from Design*Sponge: Sewing 101: Tissue Box Cover by Brett Bara (it's a really solid tutorial!).
Fixed broken brackets on panier rack, with aluminum brazing rods. Worked quite nicely. Survived first ride also.
Broke again on the last ride in 2022; added pop rivets before brazing, in 2023.
