Step-by-Step Guide: Creating a Jewelry Box

If you love working with leather as I do, you'll like the DIY, too.

You need:

  • cream plastic jar
  • dense foam or a thick foamed polyethylene
  • velour, velvet
  • soft leather
  • PVA glue

1-2. Insert foam in the jar and make cuts at the lines each 2 cm.

3. Cut out a velvet rectangle 2 times larger then the diameter of the jar and of width 4 cm larger.

4-6. Insert the fabric between the cuts.

7-8. Fill the edges with the fabric, too.

9-10. Wrap the jar into a strip of leather, the length = the circumference, the width = the side wall + 1 cm. Glue the strip and smooth it.

11. Cover the bottom with a glued leather circle.

12-13. Glue a strip of leather to the lid, the dimensions are the same.

13-14. Then cut a circle from soft leather 1.5 - 2 times larger then the diameter of the lid. Glue the lid and spread the leather circle on it.

15. Make little folds with fingers:

16. Add glue when needed.

17-18. The seam on the lid may be hidden with a leaf.

19. Add some flowers and the box is ready!

20. Using this method, you can make an organizer out of any tight box of a suitable size.

See you!
