Making Treasures from trash

In our trash sometime we find interesting products to be crafted into something useful like this little felt covered box to keep beads, buttons etc.


Today I am going to show how to make this little felt covered box

Things require for this project:

Tin box, scissor, felt red and black 1 sheet each, hot glue gun & glue sticks, a tray to keep the cut pieces and place to assemble your project & Pearl bead.

1. Cut a stripe from red felt and wrap around the tin box and fix it with glue.

2. Cut a square piece from black felt and stick on the lid of tin box. Just keep in mind that the tin is cut with cutter that remove the sharp edges if not then file the edge with a filer. Once the circle of tin is fixing cut the extra felt out and you will get a round lid now time to décor some decoration by putting lace around the lid.

3. Cut a red square and fix in the bottom and cut the extra felt also so now you have your neatly covered felt box put a bow on top of the lid and fix a pearl in the end. If you have plans to keep a metal products inside

Then cover the inside also in the same way. I have plans to keep just the button and beads so it’s ok without covering. You can also cover the inside with paper to give a finished look.

Voila! A handy little box is ready.
