A casket made of a reel from scotch can well become a pleasant souvenir for storing jewelry, sewing accessories or an attribute of a children's game. Make it much easier than it seems at first glance. Let's consider several ways of making a casket.

Paper models

A paper box can become an indispensable part of classes in acquaintance with folk art in a kindergarten or school. To produce it you will need:

• A reel from scotch tape;
• Dense cardboard of the same quality as the reel;
• PVA glue;
• Cardboard from under the shoe box;
• Stationery knife, scissors;
• Simple cardboard for schoolchildren;
• Material for decoration.

So, how to make a casket with your own hands from a reel from scotch:

1. Measure the 1.5 centimeter line on the reel. This is the cap detail.
2. Now cut 2 rounds of cardboard on the bottom of the bobbin.
3. To make the lid of the casket snap, you need to make the inner part longer than the bobbin. For this, add 8 millimeters to the width of the reel and measure everything on the cardboard from under the shoes.
4. Lubricate the inside of the reel and glue this cardboard.
5. Attach the bottoms to the casket and lid.
6. If you paint on a craft, then glue the bobbin from the outside with plain white cardboard to hide all the irregularities.
7. If you do not draw, but are going to decorate in a different way, you can immediately begin to decorate the surface of the box.
   

Caskets from a reel of scotch: a discussion of nuances

In the above-described method, the lid snaps into place. If the inner part is not lengthened, the lid can fly off without end. Children will not appreciate such a gift. Therefore, fix the cover with paper with denticles. The photo shows how the paper looks with strips and how it is fastened. Please note: if the craft does not decorate from the outside, then glue the inside of the product with denticles. Do the same with the lid.

Another option is attaching the cover. Cut off a piece of satin ribbon and fasten between layers of inner cardboard and casket / lid spool, leaving a few millimeters. On the cover between the cardboard layers you glue the same loop. Now when you open the lid is not lost, but opens with the help of a tail.

A casket from a reel of scotch can be decorated as you like. Inner surface, decorate with velvet paper or sew a bag of satin. The outer side can be decorated, covered with napkins, beads, decorative flowers, quilling elements.

Where to use cardboard boxes?

In small products, you can store buttons, needles, pins, beads, beads. In this case, for beads or mulina, one-color boxes can be made, and on top write the name of the fittings and the color (for those who endlessly buy the material).

If you make high tubes (from rolls of toilet paper, cardboard), then, collecting them on one cardboard surface in a row or in a circle, you can make boxes-baskets for stationery (pencils, pens, rulers, markers, erasers and sharpeners).

Such boxes will be useful for handicrafts - a snowman, cake, and needles. They are convenient to use in the kitchen for bulk products or spices. These products can become the basis for studies on painting in kindergartens and schools (gzhel, Khokhloma, Gorodets painting, haze).

A casket made of a reel from scotch is quite suitable for storing jewelry, elastic bands and hairpins. It can be used as decorative packaging for a gift or used as an attribute of a sweet bouquet.

Fabric hack: the first way

A casket with cardboard and fabric can be made in two ways. In the first version, the product is carried out according to all the rules described above. That is, cut the bobbin, attach the bottom to the base and the lid, and insert the cardboard inside the product, so that the top snaps into place.

Then, at the bottom of the craft and cover, glue the double-sided adhesive tape, from above attach a round piece of cloth, smoothing all the wrinkles. Then, using adhesive tape or glue, also fix pieces of cloth on the sides of the product. It is better to use non-loose and elastic material (corduroy, velvet, kapron).

It is necessary to pull the fabric so that the casket from the reel from the scotch turned out smooth. The edge is hidden from the inside of the product, where you sew a satin sack with a hidden seam. The sidewall of the lid is decorated with decorative braid. You decorate the top of the box with beads, kanzashes, artificial flowers. To make a multifunctional box, to the lid simply glue the needle bed.

Fabric box: second way

The next way of making crafts made of cardboard and fabric is suitable for the patient:

1. The bottom of the cardboard and the lid is covered with a cloth. Cut a circle 3 cm in diameter larger than the bottom. You plant it, insert the bottom, pull the thread. From side to side, like a web, weave the bottom around the whole circle, trying to grab the fabric where you need to smooth the folds on the outside.
2. Next, tighten the sides of the box and the lid, stitching the strip on its side. The edges of the fabric are tucked in.
3. Apply the bottom of the product and, by grasping the fabric of both parts of the product with the hidden seam, stitch the elements together. Do the same with the lid.
4. Now cut out the circle and strip to the size of the sides of the casket and the lid, sew them, forming a pouch. Sew it to the box so that on all sides the product has a face.

Here and the solid casket is ready with own hands from a coil from an adhesive tape! As an option: you make the product in the first way, and from the fabric you sew a ready-made bag. "Dress" the box and decorate it with accessories. The advantage of fabric artifacts lies in the variety of ways to open the lid: with Velcro, buttons, lock, lacing, and loops.

Knitted hand-made articles

Hook allows you to create unusual ornaments and simplify the work of making a casket from a reel of scotch tape. The master class will be as follows:

1. You dial a chain of four air loops.
2. Knit in a circle columns without a crochet, adding them through the same number of loops.
3. Constantly apply a circle to the bottom of the box.
4. As soon as knitting began to cover the bottom of the product, you knit without adding loops. The product will start to round off.
5. Knit to the end of the reel (not the inner layer of cardboard).
6. Now also tie the lid of the box.
7. Obtain the details, try to close the box.
8. At the last stage you glue "clothes" on the product.
9. The top and sides of the box are decorated with knitted flowers or satin elements.
