Material that is necessary for the manufacture of the box:
1. Any cardboard box.
2. Pieces of fabric.
3. Ribbon or braid.
4. Beads, beads, pebbles, etc.
5. Thermogun.
Stages of making a box:
1. For this box, any box is suitable, for example, from shoes, dishes or gift sets. This workshop uses a box with a transparent lid from the set of rifles, which was presented to me on March 8th. So, we will prepare all the necessary materials.

2. At this point we will need fabric. Any fabric is suitable for this box, and it does not have to be new. It can be an old skirt, blouse or men's shirt. My casket, for example, will "wear" my old skirt! So, we measure and cut off the required amount of tissue. This must be done in such a way that the box outside is completely covered with a cloth, and also partially inside. Then it is necessary, using a thermo gun, to glue our box with a cloth.

If the box inside is ugly, then there you can also glue it with a cloth. My box has a transparent lid, so I won’t glue it with a cloth, but if you have a cardboard lid, you also need to glue it with a cloth, you can even use a different, suitable color fabric.
3. The ugly edges of the fabric inside the box can be closed using tape or braid. I used a ribbon of silver fabric.

4. Now we will make flowers from fabric. There will be 3 flowers on my casket, for this I need to cut 3 strips of fabric about 4 cm wide. You can cut strips of the same length, but you can cut different ones - this is not so important. Threads that stick out around the edges do not need to be cut, because they will give the flowers an unusual look.

5. Next, we begin to form the flower itself. To do this, twist the edge of the strip into a tube and fix it with a heat gun. This is the middle of our flower. Then continue to wind the fabric on this middle, slightly turning it, while it is necessary to fix each turn with a thermal gun.

6. Repeat step 5 2 more times. Here are 3 ready-made flowers.

7. Using a thermal gun, glue our flowers to the box. If the box has a cardboard cover, then they can be glued directly to the cover, but since my cover is transparent, I glue the flowers on the side.

8. Now you can turn on all your imagination, because we are taken for the most interesting - decor with beads and other beauty. For this, absolutely everything that you have at home is suitable - beads, rhinestones, beads, pebbles, sequins, ribbons, well, in general, everything that has been lying and not used at your place for a long time. I decorated my casket with a thread from old beads and pebbles from a money tree.

9. That's it! Our casket is ready, now it can be used as a storage for threads, cosmetics, photographs, or you can even give it to someone by first putting a gift in it (soft toy, sweets, etc.).
