DIY jewelry boxes out of the box. Making a jewelry box Instructions for making a cache box

Despite the fact that shop windows offer a large number of jewelry boxes made of various materials, the desire to make it with your own hands does not disappear. After all, this is not only a tribute to one's talent and skill, but also the desire to have an original thing that no one else can find. In addition, it is of great importance that a hand-made box will have exactly the size that is so necessary to place all the jewelry.

The box is made by hand in two stages:

1) Creation of the box itself from improvised materials;

The material for it can be duct tape rings, wooden blocks or baguette trimmings, old newspapers, shoe boxes, and other improvised materials.

Tape reel box

If a small box is enough for jewelry, then you can make it from a paper tape reel. The size of the finished product will correspond to its diameter and height.

For work you will need:
reel freed from adhesive tape;
thick cardboard;
pencil;
scissors;
glue (preferably PVA).

For the bottom and lid of the future box, you need to make cardboard blanks. It is enough to attach the reel to a sheet of cardboard and circle with a pencil. We circle the resulting circles with another circle, the diameter of which is 3-4 centimeters larger than the previous one. These are the future rays with which the circles will be glued to the bobbin. Don't make them too wide. The narrower they are, the more accurately the bottom will stick. The end result looks like this:

Before gluing the bottom to the bobbin, it is necessary to draw along the fold line with a non-sharp object, you can use the edge of tweezers or a metal ruler. This will help to gently bend them. To hide the petals on the side, you need to stick a cardboard tape over them, corresponding in length and width to the side of the reel.

For the lid, you will need to cut a strip, slightly longer than the volume of the reel and half its height wide. In order for the lid to fit well, not to be too large, you need to wrap the future box with a strip and glue its edges. When the side of the lid is dry, you need to glue the top to it in the same way as was done with the reel.

To strengthen the rigidity of the bottom and the lid, you can glue one more layer of cardboard inside, cut along the inner diameter of the reel. The finished box is decorated with your own hands using the decoupage technique, it can be painted with acrylics and varnished or glued over the entire surface with a self-adhesive film with a pattern that imitates natural material: wood, stone.

DIY wooden jewelry box

glue the lid to the box and, after drying, carefully cut it off with an electric jigsaw, retreating down the body by one and a half to two centimeters.

A wooden jewelry box is decorated with all known methods: varnishing, painting, decoupage, pasting with oracal, fabric, leather.

Do-it-yourself box from a baguette

Chinese papier-mâché box

If the basis for papier-mâché was a round object, the lid was created together with the box, then it is necessary to remove it carefully, having previously drawn a cut line with a pencil. If the layout was created without a lid, then after removing it from the base, you need to align the edges with scissors. The lid is attached to the box before being treated with a primer. Holes for the connecting cord can be made with a paper punch.

Decorated box with their own hands is opened with varnish. It is better to use an acrylic-based varnish purchased at an art salon. Artists cover their canvases with this varnish to avoid contamination and fading of paint.

DIY box from a bamboo napkin

For work you will need:
bamboo napkin;

White cardboard (density not less than 200 g / m2) - for the bottom of the box, colored cardboard or scrap paper (here the density may be slightly less) for the lid, iron ruler, sharp hard pencil, stationery knife, double-sided tape or glue stick, non-writing a pen, a thin knitting needle or (as in my case) a nail file.

1. First, we need to decide what size box we need. For my thick harnesses, I make boxes 9 * 9 cm 2 cm high.

2. We make the bottom of the box. On white cardboard we measure on each side 2 cm, 2 cm, 9 cm, 2 cm, 2 cm.

3. Now we take a non-writing pen, a thin knitting needle or a nail file and connect the opposite sides, as in the figure

If this is not done, then when bending, creases may form or crack the cardboard at the fold.

4. Now we are working with the corner

Cut off the excess with a utility knife.
Repeat on each corner and get this result

5. Now we glue double-sided tape (or spread it with glue)

6. We bend along the lines and peel off the protective strips on the adhesive tape.

7. Now you can start gluing the bottom of the box. The corners will stick to the adjacent side

The bottom of the box is ready.
Similarly, we make the upper part - the lid, but the sides of the square will now not be 9 cm, but 9.2 cm. This is necessary in order for the box to close.

Here are the 2 parts

And this is what the box looks like with a flagellum

More packaging options (I chose the color to match the color of the jewelry)

To store jewelry and small accessories, it is not necessary to buy expensive jewelry boxes or organizers. It is enough just to make a jewelry box out of cardboard with your own hands. Most of the house has wrapping paper, small pieces of lace, beads or beads and other materials that can be used to create an original jewelry box.

Components for crafting:

Cardboard box shape

simple rectangular or square

A do-it-yourself cardboard box for needlework is formed from a box and paper tubes. First you need to choose a suitable basis for the box - for example, a shoe box. It is better to take a base for the bottom approximately the size of an A4 sheet or less, so it will be easier to go through the finishing process.

To form the tubes, you will need glue, knitting needles. For weaving, you can use tubes of plain paper for printing, unnecessary press and magazines. The finished cardboard box can be painted with acrylics or left as is.

It is advantageous to use colored paper for the printer: it has an extensive color palette.

The process of creating a cardboard box with your own hands will not take much time. First, on the outside of the box, you need to glue the vertical tubes that serve as guides. You need to glue in the interval of 4-6 cm - it all depends on the size of the box. Then the tubes are bent to the side faces, and then inward.

A compacted cardboard is glued to the bottom, suitable in size, which will hide the place where the tubes are fixed. Then the tubes are twisted around the circumference of the base. The lid also folds up.

Round box

For needlewomen, a round coil left over from adhesive tape is an expensive material. This base can be used in different types of needlework: decoupage or scrapbooking, decorate with coffee beans, beads, beads, jewelry stones, glue leather or fabric. To make a box of round cardboard with your own hands, it is advised to use interlaced cardboard.

First you need to attach the reel to the cardboard and draw three circles along the inner and two along the outer diameter. Circles with a smaller diameter are glued together, it is recommended to use Moment glue. Process the finished element with sandpaper and glue it with a circle of large diameter, placing it in the central part.

As a result, a lid will be formed that will hermetically close the box.

If there is a need to process the edges with sandpaper. The box layout is ready. It is allowed to decorate it to your taste with different beads and decorative stones using any needlework technique. The lid can be made slightly protruding: you need to increase one of the circles with a large diameter. This will make the box easier to open.

Heart shaped box

The heart-shaped box is wonderful as a gift wrapper for Valentine's Day. First of all, you need to cut out a heart-shaped element from cardboard - this is the bottom of the box, the dimensions of which will determine the parameters of the box as a whole. Then you need to cut out a wide strip of cardboard with teeth on one side. Glue the strip to the bottom. Assemble the other side in the same way.

It is necessary to glue the two halves of the walls and attach them with paper clips, wait for the glue to dry. Decorate the box inside and outside with paper with different textures or ornaments. Glue two pieces of fringe to the base - they will be as curtains on which the lid is held. Then cut out the second heart, this will be the top cover. It must be glued to the curtains.

Decorated paper should be glued in the same way. Then, to your taste, you need to decorate a cardboard box in the shape of a heart. Along the contour, as an option, you can glue lace. Top decorate with flowers, beads, ribbons, etc.

After all decoupage allows you not only to express your creative abilities with your own hands, but also to get an interesting thing. There were even related books on sale. What is decoupage? This is a special technique with which you can transfer any image to the surface. In this article, we will consider the decoupage technique for the jewelry box.

Necessary tools for decoupage boxes

The technique of decoupage of the box involves the use of the following items:

• napkins for decoupage technique;
• sandpaper;
• PVA glue;
• decoupage glue;
• acrylic paints;
• sponge;
• brushes;
• screwdriver;

• various decorative elements;
• acrylic primer.

Decoupage technique

So, having collected the necessary tools, we proceed directly to creativity. Perhaps the most ideal material for decoupage is wood. At the same time, in this technique, you can process both the tea box and the plastic surface with your own hands. Whatever material you choose, in any case, the box must first be prepared. To do this, we process the surface of the box with sandpaper.

Then the workpiece can be primed with acrylic primer.

Metal elements are best removed with a screwdriver. The next step is toning the workpiece. To do this, paint over the box with acrylic paint.

The next step is directly transferring the pattern to the surface of the workpiece. Such transfer pictures can be purchased at a specialized store. To do this, we separate with our own hands the top layer of the decoupage napkin, on which the pattern is applied. We tear out the elements of the picture with our hands. Having placed the napkin on the desired field of the box, we apply decoupage glue.

Leave until completely dry. From above we apply varnish in several layers. The next step is to decorate the box with your own hands.

First, we return all the elements removed at the first stage of work. The decoration of the box depends solely on the style chosen for decoupage. In addition, the product can be ennobled using the craquelure technique.

Ideas for decoupage boxes

Decoupage of the box is a creative activity, so even if you are guided by clear instructions, you will get an original little thing. Let's consider the main ideas that are used when decoupage boxes. Among the most popular:

1. vintage;

Today in stores there is a wide selection of boxes in which you can store jewelry. They can vary in their shapes, colors and styles. However, many needlewomen make such items with their own hands. There are different ways to make a jewelry box, with which you can realize any idea.

How to make a box out of a box?

The easiest way to make is to take a cardboard box as a basis. There is a similar item in almost every home. You can use shoe boxes, packaging and any other options that fit the size.

Such a DIY jewelry box does not require creation from scratch, so the main actions will be aimed at decorating and combining the box itself with the lid.

You will need to take several steps.

• Film cleaning. Thanks to this step, the decor process is facilitated: varnish or paint is applied easier.
• Then you need to create a couple of cuts in each corner of the lid and align the folded edge of the sides.
• Using glue (it is best to use PVA for this purpose), glue the turned edge to the side of the box (outward or inward at your discretion). All connections should look straight. Additional tape is allowed.

All further actions are occupied by decorating the product for jewelry with the help of fabric. Under textiles, it is best to put foam rubber of small thickness. Most often, needlewomen resort to decorating the outer part with velvet. Alternatively, you can use non-woven wallpaper.

You can equip the internal filling for jewelry using a towel. This is the best option for storing rings. To do this, you need to cut the towel into pieces, the width of which is equal to the width of the box. Then the material is twisted into a tube, fixing it with a thread.

Formed tubes can be placed in a box and covered with corrugated paper or cloth. As separators, you can use wire or wooden skewers.

Such a compartment is very convenient for arranging rings, but some girls use it for earrings as well.

Cardboard production

You can also use thickened cardboard with a fabric sheath. Such a box with a lid will also have an attractive appearance and is suitable for storing jewelry. The cover is duplicated with synthetic winterizer.

To create you will need:

• paper with good density;
• the cloth;
• filling material;
• adhesive;
• scissors, clerical knife;
• paper tape.

A circle of the required size is drawn on paper, which is then cut out. The sides are formed from a rectangle.

The execution of the work includes several points.

• Using adhesive tape and a clip, form the "skeleton" of the box. It will be oval, as in the picture.
• Then you can start wrapping the box.
• The bottom part is lined with fabric.
• The lid is also created from cardboard, to which the side is glued. Then you need to put a synthetic winterizer on the lid and also use textiles as pasting. The edges are decorated with paper.

Master class on creating from wood

This option is more complex than the previous ones, but such a product has a long service life.

First you need to prepare the necessary tools and materials.

• Pencil.
• Ruler.
• A long plank 10 mm thick and 10 cm wide. Soft wood products are suitable: pine, alder, linden.
• Board to create the bottom and cover. Its width should be equal to the dimensions of the finished base.
• Hand saw with fine teeth. Alternatively, you can use an electric jigsaw.
• Knife.
• Sandpaper.
• Construction glue PVA. The use of carpentry "Moment" is allowed.

After the dimensions of the future box are determined, it will be necessary to cut out two blanks from the planks, which will be equal to the length and width indicators. On the end part of each workpiece, a bevel is equipped with a knife, the angle of which is 45 degrees.

This angle provides a beautiful joint between the side parts of the box. The depth of the bevel is identical to the width of the board.

Before proceeding with the gluing process, it is necessary to make sure that the bevels are in tight contact with each other, and there are no gaps between them. If discrepancies are observed, they can be eliminated with coarse sandpaper.

The side parts need to be glued gradually. Each step is checked against the inner corner. It should be 90 degrees. Otherwise, in the end you cannot get an even rectangle, and the wooden box will look unattractive.

The bottom can be done in two ways.

• If you plan to stick with paper or textiles, you will need a blank for the bottom, which is identical in size to the parameters of the box. In this case, you need to glue it in such a way that the sides are visible. That is, it is simply glued from below to the “skeleton” of the product.
• If the product will be varnished, it is recommended to hide the bottom inside the box - in this way it will look aesthetically pleasing. This will require a blank that is smaller in size than the size of the base by two board thicknesses. For example, if the box is 10x10 cm and the wall thickness is 1 cm, then the bottom will be 8x8 cm.

The cover is created using the following method:

• the workpiece is cut according to the given dimensions of the base and mounted on hinges;
• the optimal solution is fixation on a piano loop, the length of which is 2 cm less than the length of the box itself;
• using sandpaper, the end parts are processed.

Any materials can be used as decor: varnish, paint, decoupage, fabric, leather, beads and plain paper.

other methods

A jewelry box can be made from many materials. Some of them are in every home and are even thrown away as unnecessary. However, in the hands of skilled needlewomen, any items can get a second life. For example, you can create a creative jewelry box from scotch tape reels.

For work you will need:

• 2 reels of adhesive tape, the dimensions of both products must be the same;
• glue;
• cardboard;
• regular pencil;
• scissors or utility knife.

• The reel is placed on a cardboard sheet and outlined with a pencil. Alternatively, you can use a felt-tip pen or marker.
• Then two identical circles are cut out: the first will act as the bottom, and the second as the lid.
• One of the bobbins is cut into two parts. This blank will be used as a cover. It should have slightly smaller parameters compared to the box itself.
• Cardboard circles are glued to the reels.
• Polymer clay is often used as decor. Previously, the material is subjected to softening, rolled to the desired size.
• After that, the inside of the box is covered with clay. All joints with seams and irregularities must be carefully hidden.
• Passes are not allowed. If you ignore this rule, bubbles will appear.
• When the inner part is ready, you can start working on the outer layer. Squares of different colors with patterns will look stylish. Before laying the extreme row, a ribbon should be glued, which will act as a curtain for fixing the cover.
• Then each part that is processed with polymer clay should be placed in the oven. When the material has cooled, the item can be exploited.

There is another option to easily create a jewelry box at home. This will require an unnecessary book. Such an item can be used not only for jewelry, but also as a cache, which contains every little thing. If you want to hide something from prying eyes, you do not need to use the decor.

If you decorate a box from a book, you can get a very original little thing. The manufacturing process itself is simple and within the power of any beginner.
