CD box
Do you have old, unnecessary CDs lying around your house and want to throw them away? Take your time with this, you can use them to make a box that will serve you for many years.
To make the box we will need:
- 4 CDs.
- Cardboard.
- Pencil.
- Ruler.
- Glue.
- Scissors.
- Textile.
- Needle.
- Threads to match the color of the fabric.
- Household foam sponge (dishwashing sponge).
Let's take the fabric, put it right side on the table, put a disk on top and cut out a circle, taking into account allowances of 1.5-2 centimeters. We will make cuts at the seam allowance.
Apply glue to the allowance and bend it so that the material sticks to the disk. We do this with all disks. It doesn’t matter which side you place the disc on the fabric, it still won’t be visible later.
We put the two disks together so that the material is facing out. The discs can be glued together, or they can be sewn. I used the second method.
This will be the lid of the box. Let's put it aside for now. Now we need cardboard. Cut a strip of the required height from it. This will be the wall of the box. What height it will be depends on you. I made the height 8 centimeters plus 1.5 centimeters added to connect to the bottom.
Yes, since I didn’t have enough cardboard length, I had to add it. Along the allowance line, pressing lightly on the cardboard, we draw with scissors and cut the allowance so that we get triangles. Let's drive them down.
Take the fabric and cut a strip from it. The width of the strip should be twice as large as the width of the cardboard blank (I have a blank height of 8 centimeters, which means the width of the strip of fabric is 16 centimeters), but we do not take into account the allowance, and the length is exactly the same as the blank.
Now we spread glue on the fabric and glue it to the cardboard. As a result, you should have fabric glued to both sides of the cardboard blank, except for the allowance.
Now we glue the edges of the workpiece, grease the allowance with glue and glue it to one disk. For reliability, all joints can be stitched with a needle and thread. Now the walls are not even, but this can be solved. To do this, I placed a bottle of water inside the box and left it there until the glue dried completely.
We insert the second disc inside the box so that the fabric on it is facing outward, this way we will close the allowance from the cardboard blank.
Now it's time to start decorating the lid. To do this, take a colored foam sponge and cut out 7 petals for a flower from it. The edges of the petals can be slightly cut off with scissors, so the flower will look more beautiful.
Glue the petals onto the lid.
Now let's take a sponge of a different color, I took red. Let's cut a small rectangle from it and cut the fringe out of it without cutting it to the edge. Roll it into a tube and glue it to the center of the flower, with the fringe facing up.
Cut out small leaves from a green sponge and glue them between the petals of the flower.
The box is ready; if desired, you can decorate it with beads. You can store various small things inside or put them inside present and use it as packaging.
Goodbye.
