We will need: cardboard or thick paper, Moment glue, scissors, pencil, ruler, decorative elements (beads, appliques, ribbons, etc.).

1. Draw a template on a sheet of paper or print it on a printer. To ensure that the chest sticks together evenly, we try to maintain the proportions exactly.

2. Cut out the workpiece, leaving allowances for gluing (2 on the side walls).

3. We bend our workpiece along the fold lines using a ruler. Thanks to the ruler, the fold lines will be more neat and even. We apply it to the fold line and bend it along it. To make the sides of the chest nice and even, we iron all the folds. To prevent fingerprints from leaving on the folds, you can iron the folds with the back of the scissors.

4. Let's start gluing the workpiece. We will glue along the side allowances. We glue each side separately. When the workpiece is glued, set it aside to dry.

5. Let's make a clasp for our chest. We take a piece of paper used for the blank and bend it in such a way that 3 edges are formed: 2 main edges - the lid of the chest will rest on them, a narrow edge - for gluing to the chest.

6. Let's draw the shape of the fastener - here it will be a heart.

7. Cut out the heart clasp.

8. Bend the lid of the chest to the base. To make the lid easier to take shape, lightly iron it with your hand.

9. We make a hole in the lid for the fastener, which should correspond in size to the height of the fastener.

10. Mark the location of the future fastener with a pencil. We glue the clasp to the base of our chest, press it tightly and wait until it dries.

11. When the glue dries, we try to close the chest.

On the eve of the New Year, I want to tell you how you can do it yourself various models chests for your treasures.

Unites the most simple models chests a cardboard base from which the frame is glued, then either covered with newsprint, or thick drawing paper, or crumpled paper. If you have it in stock, you can cover your finished one. box pieces of suede, leather or leatherette (but it doesn’t stick well and immediately curls up). Then, at your request, either the whole thing is painted acrylic paints, either covered with fabric or decorated using decoupage technique, you can add decorative elements from papier-mâché and fur. What I like most, of course, is the leather version, painted on top with acrylic and covered with gems :)

There are several options for making the base:

Can be cut out box according to the corrugated cardboard scheme - its advantage is that it bends well, but its disadvantages are that it is easily dented.

You can use a printer paper box with a lid (usually the box contains 5 packs of paper, 500 A4 sheets each) or purchase a Russian Post parcel box of the required size.

Can be glued from hard cardboard, thin sheets Fiberboard or decorative plywood, but for this you will already need a jigsaw.

You can make the base - the edges of the chest from hard wire and trim it, paste it over, tie it, string it with beads and seed beads, etc.

Design examples chests different techniques:

Decoupage



Corrugated paper

Covering with fabric and fur





Leather

Master class on making chest-origami (Origami Treasure Chest (Robin Glynn)

Larisa Logunova

I present to you an option for making a fake chest.

I needed it for autumn holiday. At first I just wanted to order from furniture store, but when I found out about the price (5000 rubles, I decided to do it myself. My box cost 10 times cheaper.

If you want to make the same, then you will be required:

2 identical cardboard boxes;

1 can of PVA glue (If large chest - 2 jars) ;

Unnecessary newspapers or magazines;

Wallpaper or self-adhesive for decorating the external and internal surfaces;

2 window hinges;

3 furniture handles;

Screws with nuts for fastening hinges and handles;

A small piece of thin plastic (to reinforce the areas where the handles and

1. Prepare box: cut off the top covers, glue all seams, creases and other irregularities with several layers of paper (if necessary).

2. From another one the same boxes cut out the blank for the lid. We also glue the bumps and corners with paper. (number of layers - as needed).

3. Cover surface chest made from newspaper sheets (we glue many layers to make it cardboard) and glue it to the glued blank.

4. Now prepared box, and cover the lid with newspapers in several layers.

The more layers you make, the stronger your box.

The chest is ready.

Fragrant Christmas tree, Fluffy Christmas tree, Decorated Christmas tree, You are so cute! The New Year holidays are in full swing and in severe frosts we have no time to be bored.

“Master class “Magic chest” Hello, dear friends and colleagues! Once again I present to your attention my new work.

December is a hot time, even if it's -20 outside! As the holidays approach, the workload increases sharply. You begin to regret the day.

The competition took place in the fall. The idea for this competition appeared after I made my model “Garden and Vegetable Garden” (information about it is in.

I decided to make these houses for my children for a puppet theater and other games. To begin, cut out cardboard box cut out four.

I suggest you do Christmas tree toy do it yourself quickly and easily to decorate a Christmas tree in the yard. For this we need: - box,.

I'm waiting for the Golden Catch! I'll find a diamond treasure! “Robber is a nasty word! I like the word “pirate”! The skull and crossbones are emblazoned on the flag.

It all started with the fact that I felt sorry for throwing away boxes from under glasses. But once you understand the principle of operation, you can turn almost any box into a cute wedding money chest.

There were partitions in this box that I got rid of... I brought the box to look like in the photo!

On one of the sides we draw this outline, typical for the lid of a chest. You can stick to any size. You can do it “by eye”, whatever suits you!
We do the second side in exactly the same way! but on the “profile” we draw two stripes: the first connects the lower points of each arc on the sidewall, and the second is the height of our future cover.

Now we take scissors in our hands and cut off the “excess”. Create a “bulge” for the lid. I think the photo shows what I mean.
Next step: the lid of my box is quite tight and just doesn’t want to bend nicely. Therefore, with the blunt side of the scissors I make these grooves (along the inside of the box). The distance between the beards is arbitrary - for me it’s about 1.5 cm.

Now I cut along the bottom line in three!!! to the parties. I did this with a sharp knife.

I'm "finishing" the lid of my chest. Personally, I take adhesive paper tape, which is sold in hardware stores called construction tape;) Well, I take exactly that, tear off the pieces and use them to secure the lid parts together

This photo shows it better. I cut off the “extra” part of the lid with scissors (you can also use a knife). I connect everything with the same adhesive tape.

Well... something is already emerging...

If money is thrown into this chest, then it’s time to think of a “hole”... for this purpose inside I draw outlines of the lids and cut them out with a sharp knife.


Tip number 1:
if you simply cut along the “bottom” line, then after we cover our chest it will not be able to close well. Therefore, it is worth increasing our slot, as I tried to show in the photo, to about 3 millimeters.

Let's start gluing our chest. It was for this chest that I again picked up the wallpaper that I had bought specifically for this.

I cut off the first piece: length = two widths of the side walls + the width of the front wall + two folds (I have 5 centimeters each... but less is possible). Height = wall height + two folds.

I glue it with glue from a spray can (as in the photo), but this is my personal choice!

I start gluing: first the front and two sides, then I fold it over the back, then I cut it at the corners and tuck it in. After everything, I smooth it out, expel the air and press it well again.

Next step: I trace the sides of the lid and cut out these blanks.

I glue the sides of the lid.

Having measured the width of the chest, I cut out the next part. You will need to paste it over: the bottom, back wall and a lid. So you will need to calculate the length taking into account all these details.

While the glue has not yet hardened, I make a cut like this.

This is how the hole for envelopes looks like.

On at this stage our wedding money chest looks like this...

Tip number 2:
If you feel that the lid of the chest is a bit heavy and is constantly “trying to fall off” when you open it, then before gluing the inside of the chest, glue a piece of ribbon on one side from the inside as in the photo. Try to find the position of the lid in which it already “leans back” and in this position we glue such a ribbon. After this, you can safely start gluing the inside of the chest.

I figured that my lid wouldn’t “fall off” anyway, so I removed the ribbon and started covering the inside with the same wallpaper. If you want to tinker, you can decorate the inside with material - it turns out beautifully, but there is a little more fiddling.

How to paste it over - I don’t think it’s worth going into too much depth. I'll make a cut for the envelopes later - when the glue dries.

Now we cut off a cardboard strip (I have about 5 cm wide and long = 2/3 of the width of the side panel + width of the front wall + 2/3 of the width of the side panel).

Let's try it on from the inside... as in the photo. The cardboard peeks out about 2 cm above the edge of the chest.

I also covered this cardboard with the same wallpaper, and so that the “seam” was at the bottom.

I coat it with glue to about the middle and glue it to the inner wall(s) of the chest. I used nail scissors to cut a hole for the envelopes...

I pulled out all sorts of things from the bins that are associated with a wedding...
I glued it with a hot gun, added doves and hearts...and...

Bamboo chest

For storage various items household items, valuables and other things are used in a chest. Since ancient times, people have become accustomed to such containers for storing things. Chests were most often made from wood and decorated with various metal elements. In the same master class you will learn how to make a marvelous chest from improvised materials at minimal cost.

Materials
. Cardboard.

Manufacturing stages
. Mark the chest on any box. Cut it out.

. Cover the outside of the box with the main background, extending about 6 cm inside.
By long side of the chest layout, attach the flattened tubes with tailor's pins as in the photo.

Now take long strips of a different color. Pin the ends on the left side. Now make the weaves, the distance can be taken equal to the width of the tube.

When you reach the top, fold the ends of the strips inward and glue them.

This is what it looks like inside

. While the glue dries, work on the lid of the chest. In this MK, the width of the bottle is equal to the width of the chest, so you don’t have to adjust anything to fit. Wet the cardboard and attach it to the bottle with tape. When the cardboard dries, cover it several times with PVA glue.

For greater reliability, you can glue it with newspaper.

. While the lid is drying, continue braiding the sides of the chest. Where necessary, stripes should be extended.

High side part ready. Trim off the excess from the strips and glue well.

Continue braiding the chest. Don't forget to glue the stripes to the bottom; the stripes in this MK are yellow.

As a result of your labors, you will get such a neat and beautiful chest.

1. Cut out three cardboards - 17x8.5 cm in size and two squares - 8.5x8.5 cm in size. Glue them to white paper. We leave a space of 2 mm between them to make it easier to bend them along the contour.

2. Glue the frame of the chest, and glue it inside corrugated paper.

3. Cut out parts from the wooden mat that should match the dimensions of the sides of the box. We take into account that the bottom should also be decorated with this rug.

4. Immediately prepare the materials for the lid and cover them with corrugated paper. We need 3 semicircles with a diameter of 8.5 cm and 4 squares with sides of 8.5 cm. Immediately drill a hole in the squares in their lower part.

5. Glue two semicircles to two squares using satin ribbon and Moment glue. We need tape so that the cardboard joints bend well, but do not crack.

6. Now you can paste over the frame with the prepared wooden elements.

7. We cover the part of the wooden mat that will serve as a lid with corrugated paper on the inside.

8. Glue the wooden mat to the sides of the chest.

9. Next we glue it into two semicircles, cut off the excess parts with scissors and sand them with sandpaper.
