Boxes for things

I also made two boxes out of foam-core board and covered them in patterned paper.

First I measured (twice ;)  ) and cut out the top and bottom. The purple box was small enough that it took only one piece of foam-core for the top and one for the bottom, so I cut a trough to account for the thickness of the board. I glued it all together with UHU glue and used straight pins to hold it together while it was drying.

After the two pieces were dry, I covered them in patterned paper and added hinges and a clasp.

Here is the purple box finished.
Gems: Say It in Crystals
Paper: unknown
White Pen: Gelly Roll White
Hardware: Zamix

And now for the red box. I added a pocket to the lid, boxes for the little cards, and a divider for the big cards.

Materials are the same for this box and the purple one, excepting:
Purple Paper: Fabriano Cartacrea
Ribbon: Sunflower, China

The purple box was my first try to see how making a box out of foam-core would work out. I wanted a box to keep my cards in, but couldn't find anything suitable. Since my first box worked out well, I decided to make one for my cards. It's perfect, except I think I am going to have to make another one since this box is full.

Have a wonderful day!
