Box out of the box

The easiest option you can think of will require the following set of materials:

• a box of the desired size (if desired, you can even make a whole chest);
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• simple pencil;
• eraser;
• beautiful magazine clippings.

Next - how to make a box out of the box with your own hands.

So, the product described in this paragraph is incredibly easy to make. After all, we do not need to perform various manipulations in order todesign the frame of our box. We just need to paste over the existing box as we please.

Box of boxes

If you want to make a product with several compartments, you need to take two or more boxes of different sizes. Then fold them the way we did when playing Tetris. That is, there are no gaps between them. After that, it remains only to paste over the finished product. For example, a broken eggshell.

Box of matches

Another interesting variant of the craft under study will also not force our reader to fiddle with calculations, measurements and other actions that contribute to the receipt of the box. And all because we will prepare the necessary material in advance, namely matchboxes. Of course, empty. But let's take everything in order.

To make a box with several "drawers" you will need the following materials:

• twelve matchboxes;
• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• color paper;
• simple pencil;
• one sheet of white cardboard;
• twelve identical buttons or large beads.

To make such a box out of boxes with our own hands, the first thing we need to do is glue the matchboxes together. However, it is extremely important to do this in a special way. And then we will talk about it in detail. So, we take every three boxes and stick them on top of each other. Then we leave to dry. This will take approximately half an hour.

When the boxes are securely fastened together, you can proceed tothe next step in the execution of the original box. Which is in very simple steps. You just need to lay a sheet of cardboard on a flat surface. And put the resulting stacks on it as shown in the figure below.

Now we take a simple pencil in our hands, carefully outline the outline and cut it out with scissors.

Then we prepare another identical part in this way. As a result, we get the bottom and lid of the future box. However, it is important to note that both parts can be made a little more outline if desired.

Finally, we move on to assembly. We take the first square and stick four stacks of boxes on it as shown in the figure above. Then we attach another part on top - the lid. And the frame of our original matchbox box is ready.

Let's move on to decorating. It is not necessary to describe this stage in detail. After all, each person will do everything in his own way. Therefore, we will move on to the final step.

It consists in attaching handles to the "drawers". It's not at all difficult to do this. It is only necessary to attach the prepared beads or buttons to the matchboxes with glue so that the inner box slides out freely.

Box of postcards

One of the simple and very original variants of the product studied in the article comes from Soviet childhood. After all, it was then that such crafts were very popular, so every girlI always acquired such a box and put various memorabilia, jewelry and other necessary knick-knacks into it.

3. Then we need to prepare the lid and bottom of the box for this. We take a postcard and measure the large side with a ruler.
