Make a pretty and cute little trinket box as a gift or for small keepsakes
To present small gifts you need beautiful and original packaging. Undoubtedly, receiving small presents in little boxes you can't buy in a shop is much more pleasant. I suggest making** a pretty and cute little trinket box for packaging a gift or for small keepsakes from ordinary ceiling tile.
To make this box we will need:**
- ceiling tile;
- sharp knife;
- fabric;
- Titan glue;
- fabric flowers, beads, rhinestones or any other decoration;
- ribbon.
Cut the ceiling tile into pieces that should be the same size as each side of the planned box. Each face should have two pieces so the box is sturdy and the walls don't bend.
Cover each piece with fabric, folding a small hem onto the other side. Glue matching pairs together with the wrong sides facing each other.
Begin assembling the structure. Glue all parts except the back panel. To glue the back wall, cut a piece of fabric twice the size of the panel itself.
Glue the back panel blanks together so that the fabric tail is sandwiched between them.
Glue the tail from the back wall to the bottom of the box. We can glue the lid of the box.
Glue small feet to the bottom of the box. Any bead, rhinestone, metal spike embellishment, etc., will work for this element.
Make a small handle for the little chest from beads strung on thread. Sew the handle onto the top lid.
Decorate the box with little roses made from satin ribbon and a pretty ribbon. That's it — you can use or gift the little trinket chest!
