DIY Ring Box!

Over the recent year I have been buying more and more rings, especially now you can by sets of midi rings, but I wanted some where to put them as my ring draw in my jewellery box was getting over crowded. So I decided to make a ring box and I thought I would share with you how I made it!

 



This is the finished product!

Step 1: first I found a box that I likes and used electrical tape to seal off the openings! You can use any tape you want, I just had electrical tape on hand at the time.

Step 2: Next I used an old Primark bag and PVA glue to completely cover the box, I got my PVA glue from poundland, its a really big bottle and works really well.

 

Step 3: once I had covered the box in the brown paper, I then covered it in white tissue to make sure it can be painted over easily.

Step 4: Next I then began to measure and mark out the possible size I want to cut out for the lid.

 

Step 5:once the glue had dried I painted it orange using a tester pot of orange wall paint.

Step 6: when the paint had dried I then double checked the measurement, which showed through the paint and cut out the lid using a Stanley knife ***these knifes are very sharp and I advise that if you aren't confident using them or if you are young then please get somebody else to cut it for you, preferably an adult! .

Step 7:once the lid was cut I covered the edges with the white electrical tape because I hadn't cut it very neatly....

Step 8: next I used my glue gun to make an out line around the edges of the box which I then painted white as well as adding a pin in to the front covered in the same way with a piece of twine glued to the top to make a closure.

Step 8: once the outside was complete I then cut a sponge to the right size, and cut slits in it where I will be putting my rings!

Here is the finished product...
