Jewelry box

If you have a small amount of jewelry and have nowhere to put it, then you can make a place to store it yourself. A very simple box can be made from scrap materials. Select cardboard (2 mm or more), fabric for the inside and outside, PVA glue, Moment glue, brushes for applying glue, scissors, a stack for leveling surfaces and white thick paper. Pick up decor for the lid of the box, if appropriate. Initially, you need to cut out the blanks for the box. The box has the following parameters: 3x15x8 cm.

After the blanks are ready, we assemble the lid and base. Please note that in both cases, we start assembling by gluing two long sides, and then, after applying glue to three sides at once, we glue the short sides. We fasten it well, holding it for a few seconds. You can use a rectangular ruler to fix the corners of the walls of the box straight.

When all the parts are assembled, cut and iron the fabric for the outside of the box. We will also cover the inner walls of the parts with this fabric. That is, it is necessary to cut out the fabric for the walls on both sides along with allowances.For our box size, the fabric will measure 30x22 cm for the base and 21.6x15 cm for the lid.

Glue the base of the two parts to the fabric so that there are no bubbles and the surface is smooth. For the cover and base, we cut the fabric the same way: cut off squares on four sides, retreating 1 cm from the fold. Using the tips of scissors, cut from the corner of the cut to the corner of the base diagonally.

The gluing pattern for the two parts is the same. First we glue the long sides, gluing the allowances on the sides to the cardboard base. Then, bending the side allowances on the short parts evenly, we glue the remaining two sides. We seal the inside to the very base, helping to level the corners and surfaces of the walls with a stack.

Let's cut out a piece measuring 2.9x8 cm from cardboard. This will be the partition in the box. This way we will create several departments. The size of the department is at your discretion. We cover both sides with fabric at the wide base, leaving allowances of 1 cm. You need to very evenly and carefully cut off the unnecessary fabric along the edges that will be in contact with the wall.

We coat the two cut edges with Moment glue, and the place where the wide edge will be glued is coated with PVA glue. We glue the partition so as not to stain the walls.

Let's cut out white paper (as thick as whatman paper) to the size of the inner parts of the box and prepare fabric of the same size, but with 1 cm allowances.

Glue the paper to the fabric so that the surface is flat (for this we need a stack). We cut the corners according to the sample and seal all the allowances.

Before sealing the inside of the lid, we attach the ribbon and lace as a decorative element so that the ends are not visible. We seal the inside of the lid with the existing blank.

The jewelry box is ready.Now you can keep your jewelry safe and sound!
