Representatives of the fairer sex love to surround themselves with beautiful things. Especially if they are made by yourself.
Even a beginner in needlework can build the lovely box that we are going to talk about. It does not require the purchase of expensive materials. And it’s enough to spend a free evening to make it.
Materials and tools
For any job, it is very important to prepare properly. You can find everything you need to make this thing in your own household. The following items will be required:
- Thick cardboard for the base.
- Threads. You can use various leftover yarn.
- Toothpicks.
- Decorative elements: beads, sequins, lace and so on.
- Scissors and PVA glue.
Advice! To work, choose a surface with sufficient lighting, as the process involves very small parts.
If there is not enough light, it will lead to eye strain. To prevent this from happening, you can use an additional source, such as a table lamp.
How to make a box with your own hands
A small round box will fit into any interior and add elegance and coziness to it. You can place jewelry in it or use it to store decorative elements, as well as for threads and needles.
Work process
- Using a compass, draw a circle on the cardboard.
- Cut the bottom of the future product with scissors.
Along the contour of the base, insert toothpicks into the cardboard at an equal distance. It is advisable to lubricate them with glue for greater fixation.
- Secure the end of the thread to one of the toothpicks.
- Smoothly wrap around the toothpicks, moving in a spiral.
- Having reached the height of the middle, place decorative beads on toothpicks.
- Continue twisting until you reach the top border.
- Lightly coat the ends of the wooden elements with glue and place the beads of the top row on them.
The box for small items is ready.
Advice! Complete the box with a beautiful lid. To do this, cut out another circle from cardboard and cover the workpiece with beautiful paper of the main color.
Enjoy your creative process!
