Cosmetics box.

Most girls probably have trouble finding the right place for their necessary cosmetics. A hand -made box will allow you to gather them in one place and aesthetic storage. They will be needed to make this box: a piece of cardboard, decorative paper, glue, scissors, ride and thin, unilateral mirror.

Cosmetics box: a) container, b) lid, c) stabilizing insert, d) mirror, e) ready box.

The box consists of 3 part: cosmetics container (drawing – a), lid with a mirror (drawing – b) and the insoles of stabilizing cosmetics (drawing – c). They can be made according to the dimensions given in the figure, but you can change them freely depending on your needs.

Cardboard cut according to the dimensions given in the figure, It should be covered outside with colorful decorative paper. Decorative paper should have dimensions of Fr. 1/2 cm larger than cardboard, so that you can bend the sides of the paper inwards. Immediately after wrapping, bend the sides of the box to the correct position. This way will be avoided by wrinkling paper. We now stick the interior of the box with decorative paper. The original way to connect the sides of the box is to break the holes with a pier, through which we are swinging a decorative ribbon, string, ribbon, thong etc..

Attention! When piercing the holes, remember that, that in two neighboring sides they would be opposite each other.

The stabilizing insert has the same dimensions as the bottom of the box, and its height is about 1,5 cm (We stick several layers together). On the surface of the insert, we outline the outline of the shape of cosmetics packaging with a pencil and cut them out.

The box is complemented by a mirror placed inside the lid. The dimensions of the mirror should be smaller than the dimensions of the lid. In the mirror thickness cardboard, we cut out the shape of the mirror previously stipulated (The hole should be slightly smaller than the mirror). We stick the mirror to the cardboard, we cover (we glue) cardboard with a cut out (drawing – d) and we glue it to the inner surface of the lid. We also stick a cardboard with a mirror with colored paper. So that you can browse in the mirror, Connect the lid with a ribbon container with an experimentally selected length.
