To make the box we will need:
- On sheets A1 and A2 of watercolor paper;
- Box diagram;
- Two sheets of marine scrap paper measuring 30*30 cm;
- Two blue napkins with a star cut out;
- Picture with sea bunny Mi;
- Beige grosgrain ribbon with blue anchors;
- Tag card with the inscription “Our beloved son”;
- Blue cotton lace; 4 cm wide;
- Curb hole punch;
- Double-sided tape and glue with the effect of double-sided tape;
- Lighter;
- Glue stick, scissors, ruler, simple pencil.
We have a diagram of the main part of the box and its lid. For the base of the box we need a piece of watercolor paper measuring 56*60 cm, and for the lid 36.3*40.3 cm. We will cut off everything that is shaded in the diagram.
So, on both sheets we take the appropriate measurements, cut off the excess and slightly cut off the corners along which we will assemble the box and its lid. We draw bend lines.
From scrap paper we cut out two rectangles 17.5*21.5 cm and 18*22 cm.
Glue a smaller rectangle to the bottom of the box using a glue stick. On a larger rectangle we glue two napkins, a sea bunny and a card.
We also cut and glue the grosgrain ribbon. We assemble the box itself and glue it along the tails.
We cut the remaining scrap paper into rectangles so that they can be partially glued inside and outside the box. We go through all the trimmings with a curb hole punch.
Sew on the card and picture. Glue the rectangle onto the lid and sew it on.
Now we glue the lid.
Cover the box and glue the lace along the edge of the lid with double-sided tape.
The box is ready. We put the album and the “Mom’s Treasures” box in it and you’re done. Solid present in solid packaging. Thanks for your attention and good luck!
