2. Cut a rectangle of measured length from the material. Its width should be greater than the height of the ring from the scotch, to bend the edges inward, making them neat.
3. Make the bottom according to the technology described in the corresponding section.
4. Put a rectangle cut before you. From the wrong side, draw two lines corresponding to the upper and lower edges of the workpiece. On both long sides make incisions, not reaching the drawn lines.
5. Apply glue to the outer surface of the reel. Glue the base, and the top and bottom edges bend to the other side.
6. The inner surface is done by the same method, only without allowances.
7. Glue on all the satin ribbons in the tone basis.
8. Make a cover by any of the methods below.
9. Take a wide lace, measure the strip of the desired length, cut it. Glue the element on the surface of the box.
10. Narrow lace can be placed around the perimeter near the lid or bottom;
11. Decorate the product at your discretion.

In this way, both the inner and outer decorative surface of the box are obtained at once. After that, the bottom is glued and a lid is made.

How to make a bottom

In order for you to get a box of scotch with lace, created with your own hands, taking into account all the wishes, you need to accurately and in size make the bottom. It is better to perform it from two circles corresponding to the inner and outer diameter of the reel from the scotch tape.

So, do the following:

1. Take the cardboard and draw around it the workpiece of the base along the inner and outer circumference.
2. Cut out both elements. They can be glued the way they are, if you have a beautiful cardboard of the right color. You only need to gently work the edges of the workpieces with sandpaper or a normal nail file. But it will be much more effective to look at the box, in which the bottom is made of the same fabric as the walls. In this case, proceed to the next step.
3. Take the material that was used to tighten the base. Place the circles on it and circle them, retreating about 2.5 cm.
4. Cut out both blanks.
5. Run along the circumference, stepping about 1 cm from the edges, stitches.
6. Do not fix the thread, take a cardboard circle of the appropriate diameter (internal or external), put it on the fabric template and pull the thread from the back of the fabric. Fasten and cut the thread.
7. So, there are two blanks in front of you, one side of which is flat, and the other with an assembly. Now insert the smaller circle inside the casket assembly bottom. Joints are better to glue.
8. From the outside, glue a large circle assembly inward. Places of connections can be decorated with a satin ribbon in the tone of matter.

How to make a lid quickly

In order for you to get a full-fledged box of scotch with laces your own hands, you must do the top part, which you can close and open. The simplest option is when the lid is simply put on top, but in this case it can fall off, which will be very inconvenient during operation. Solve this problem easily by attaching a small piece of satin ribbon to the lid and to the base. To the edge of the element is not very attracted attention, it is easy to decorate them with beads or flowers.

If you want to learn how to make a casket of scotch with lace with a beautiful and comfortable lid of greater height, study the following method. It will take a little longer, but the part will fit tightly into the casket and stay on it. The sequence of work will be as follows:

2. Glue the same elements together. You will have two thick mugs of different diameters.
3. From the fabric, cut two blanks just as you did for the bottom, only the dimensions take it taking into account the thickness of the lid elements.
4. Both parts need to be tightened with the material, as in the case with the lower part. If you want, you can make the top of the cover three-dimensional. It is enough only to put some sintepon or a foam blank between the fabric and the cardboard blank.
5. Details are glued together using the same technology as the assemblies inside.
6. The outer part of the cover can be decorated in any way. If you are doing embroidery, and it is more convenient to perform it before installing the cardboard base, do not forget about it.

If necessary, you can make a cover on the casket. To do this, you need to make an additional strip and perpendicularly attach it to the edge of the round workpiece.
