No place to hang the buds

if you have the room for it, you can get a wardrobe box from a uhaul store, some of them already have a hanging rod built into them. or poke a series of small holes about two or three inches from the top of the box, going all the way around the box, then thread a string through the holes to hang from. a small hole at the bottom on one side and close to the top on the other side will promote air flow better than two at the same level. you just have to open it up daily and check your progress. it should ideally take 6-10 days to get dry enough to jar, but as long as you're on top of it, and jar them when they are dry enough, you should do ok. if they're taking too long, you may want to aim a small fan at your air intake hole, you don't want mold or mildew to fuck things up this late in the game.

I saw a video one youtube how to make a dry box. I saw the holes he made for air flowing but i think he made them around 4-5 inches. Arent to big? I mean light is gonna come in the box and we dont want this to happen right?

that much light isn't a problem. you don't want to sit your curing jars in direct sunlight, but room level lighting isn't going to hurt curing bud. as to the size of the hole, it depends on how humid the area you're using to dry is. if it's a humid area, make the holes a little bigger, maybe even have a small fan blowing towards (but not directly into) one of them. if it's a low humidity area, you can make the holes smaller, maybe just have a fan blowing against the wall next to the box so it isn't sitting in stagnant air. you want the process to take at least a week, so the sugars, starches, and chlorophyll in the plant have time to at least mostly break down before you put them into curing jars, or you'll get that grassy cardboardy smell that takes forever to fade
