Photography Light Box Diy

Photography question?

I dont know much about photography and lighting, so Im following instructions from this site

http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html

In the pictures of the light box, it shows strips of black board covering the 4 corners of each side, with the white tissue paper inlay in the centre.
My question is how do the black strips aid the picture and are they a nessasity?

the black strips are only the tape holding the white paper on to box frame, also designer used black for interior behind white stripe of paper in next pic, possibly for less glare,
