Make this 2 parted accessory box out of cardboard. It's very easy and won't take much time to make it.
Make this 2 parted accessory box out of cardboard. It's very easy and won't take much time to make it.
At first you have to draw an outline of the box. You can simply follow the template I used. The box I've made is of 4.5 inches width, 6 inches length and 5 inches height. Use an x-acto knife to cut the cardboard.
After you've cut out the cardboard for the main structure, fold up the sides and use super glue to join all the sides.
Cut 2 more pieces for the drawer and the divider between the drawer and the upper part of the box.
Fold the sides of the cut out cardboard for the drawer and join the sides using glue. Cover it with printed paper.
Also cover the main box with printed paper but this time use a different print or color.
Place the drawer in it position and then attach the divider with glue.
Complete the main structure of the box by attaching another piece of cardboard (covered with printed paper) for the upper part. Attach bead on the drawer for the knob and another bead and elastic thread on the upper part for the closure.
You can also decorate the box using stones, beads and stickers. Enjoy!
