Metal Trinket Storage #G45Box

By Marina Ignatova

“Hello friends!

For our January Challenge, I decided to make a box in which I will store metal jewelry and trinkets for scrapbooking. Here’s my starter kit:

I wanted to add some gold accents, for this I used washi tape.

Next, I cut out rectangles from Voyage Beneath the Sea – Deluxe Collector’s Edition

for pasting the inside of the ATC Box.

First I glue the sides, then the bottom of the box

Now I cut out the rectangles for pasting the box outside

Next, I prepared paper to decorate the outer part of the box, which has a window

Given the width of the window, I cut out a rectangle from one part

Before gluing the resulting blank, I covered the window in the box with gold tape

The drawer is now beautiful, but not yet functional. I would like to have sections that do not mix metal decorations

Сut out 2 rectangles of such sizes from binding cardboard so that they fit snugly into the box. In the middle of each, I made a cutoff of 5 cm in height and made a hole 1 millimeter thick (which corresponds to the thickness of my cardboard) on one cardboard above the cutoff, on the other below (see photo below)

Joined cardboard by gluing them together

Now I pasted this divider on all sides with gold tape

To complete the design of this divider, I cut 4 5.6×12 cm rectangles out of paper and punched each one at the 2 1/8 inch mark

Now the box is ready. It is very convenient to use such a split. For example, now, this is a box for metal jewelry, and if you take it out and divide, then you can perfectly place a mini album there!)) Frankly, I will do so sooner or later, because I really want to create an album from this amazing collection!

so that the bottom of the box does not shuffle, I glued improvised legs to it

It is advisable to glue a piece of transparent plastic under our window so that nothing spills out of the box. I will definitely do so later. Now I did not glue the plastic so that it does not glare in the photo
