How to make a Ring gift box with lid

DIY #1

RING BOX WITH LID

You can make a box of maquete paper (3mm) for your ring no problem!!!, following the next steps. The dimensions of this box are 5X4X3cm and for the lid 5.6X4.6X1cm. It is important to draw the dotted lines with 3mm width (like the width of the maquette paper) as they are on the plan

After you draw the box and the lid on the maquette paper you start engraving and cutting, be careful about your beautiful hands though!!Another thing that you need to be careful is that when you engrave the lines on the bottom of the box/lid and the part of the dotted lines, to not cut them all the way through, just the first layer of paper and the ‘’spongy’’ layer

Watch out for the little details!

The point of the gap is for the box and lid to fold inward

Now the box and lid are ready. Let’s play with the inside part of the box!!! Chose some piece of fabric of your liking and cut 2 pieces let’ say ‘’slightly’’ bigger than the area of the bottom of the box each one

Then you roll the first piece of fabric, you glue the bottom part like the photo and you fill it with cotton and you glue the edges. Repeat this for the second piece of fabric and your little cushions are ready!!

*you can use wood glue (atlacoll)

So, now you put some glue on the back side and in the sides of the cushions and you glue in on the box. Add some glue in the edges of the box and lid and they are basically ready

If you want to make your box prettier you can add some knitted chain on the top edge or just to paint it

You can wrap around the box and the lid with some kind of paper i.e banana paper, craft paper I chose paper that you use in free drawing because I liked its texture
