Hello Crafter's,
Here is a box I have made for the launch of the
Sara Signature Glamour Collection. Some of you may have seen this on the launch shows on
Hochanda and I think there have been a few requests for a tutorial on how it was made.
This may be quite a long post with lots of photos, but I hope you are able to follow my guide!
In case you didn't see this on TV, this is the inside of the box.
The front panels open out and each one has a slip case and draw attached. In the centre is a smaller box which in sectioned into small compartments.
Here we go!
My original
idea for this project was to make a jewellery box with a difference – inspired by
the new Sara Signature Glamour Collection.
A4 and A3
Centura Pearl Snow White Hint of Silver card
Cut three pieces of A4 card 11½” long. On each
piece mark 2 1/8” from the corners along each edge. Trim the corners off. Glue
two of the pieces together and put to one side.
Back
Panels. Cut one piece of card 7¼” x 8¼” Score at 3/8” using the box lid
side of the board along the shorter side. Cut two pieces of card 3 3/8” x 8¼”
Score at 3/8” on one long side and one short side. Cut away where the score
lines cross.
Attach the back panels to the base piece which
is two layers of card (from step 1) and join the two smaller side panels to the
larger back panel with the tabs.
Cut card pieces as follows. One piece 7 ¼” x 8
¼”, two pieces 3” x 8 ¼” and two pieces 4” x 8 ¼” Score at 3/8” using the box
lid side of the board on each piece along the shorter edges. Attach each piece
to the box base using the tabs. Adhere the third base shape from step 1 to
cover the tabs. Line the inside of all the side panels with Centura Pearl card.
1 Box Lid. Cut
A3 card 14 7/8” x 11 5/8” Working on the back of the card, mark pencil lines on
all edges at 1 5/8” At each corner mark a point 2 1/8” along the lines. Join
these points together across the corners. Next draw a line 1 5/8” parallel to
the corner line.
Draw 90˚ lines from each intersection. Cut the
lines on the longer edges and leave tabs on the shorter edges (corners)
Score along the 1 5/8” lines and the tab lines.
Burnish the score lines and glue the tabs to make the lid.
