Boxes made from tape reels
Surely every woman has thought more than once about where to store small household items such as buttons, beads, and rings. Of course, you can buy any box you like in the store, but it’s much nicer to make a box for storing small items with your own hands. Who would have thought that from an ordinary reel of tape you could create an original, stylish box for jewelry, buttons, pins or something else.
To work you will need:
• a reel of wide tape,
• a roll of narrow double-sided tape or masking tape,
• pieces of old wallpaper or scrapbooking paper,
• thick cardboard,
• PVA glue and “Moment”,
• scissors, ruler,
• lace,
• ribbons, beads, large buttons for decoration.
First of all, you need to clean both reels of any remaining tape and paper. Then, placing them on thick cardboard, you need to circle the coils with a pencil to get two circles of the desired size. Cut them out. Subsequently, this will be the bottom and lid of the box.
Measure the width of both reels, and then draw stripes on the wallpaper equal to the circumference of each reel. As a result, you should have two strips per reel.You also need to draw four circles on paper to cover the bottom and roof of the box.
After this, you should cut out all the parts and attach the elements to the base using glue. To fix them, you can use paper clips until the glue dries completely.
As a result, you should have a box with a lid. All unsightly seams can be hidden under lace. You just need to stick it on the joints of paper and cardboard.
To prevent the lid from getting lost over time, you can attach it to the base. To do this, use the same lace. Glue a small piece of it on the outside, and then do the same on the inside of the box.
The craft is ready. All that remains is to decorate it. It all depends on your imagination. Decorate the lid of the box with satin ribbons, beads, and large buttons of unusual shape. If desired, you can use shells, beads, and sparkles.
It would not be a shame to give such an original thing to a friend or relative for any celebration. The box will fit very harmoniously into any interior and will serve as an excellent accessory for storing all sorts of useful little things.
