Creating with...: Glamour Box

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!

Glamour Box

My original idea for this project was to make a jewellery box with a difference – inspired by the new Sara Signature Glamour Collection.
