Every woman has jewelry, and most of that jewelry is rings. Usually rings are kept in special boxes, and the more rings there are, the more space these small-sized jewelry takes. As a result, the box for storing the rings is thrown away, the rings are moved into various containers, lost and damaged. That is why today I want to tell you how to make a box for storing rings, which allows you to save space and store rings as they should.
We need: a small rectangular box with a hinged lid (for cookies, sweets, etc.); fabric (preferably velvet).
If you have a bright and beautiful box, you can immediately proceed to its interior design. If the box is inconspicuous, you can glue it over with a cloth or use the decoupage technique.
We take a piece of fabric and fold it in several layers so that the width of our fabric is equal to the width of the box. Now we begin to fold the fabric into an "accordion".
We open our box.
Squeeze tightly prepared fabric.
We put the fabric on the bottom of the box.
The fabric should be laid in even, tight rows. If you have some free space, add another piece of fabric.
The simplest version of the ring box is ready! It is very simple to make such a box, but this option has a small drawback - by taking out the rings, you can shift the rows. There is another way - you can cut the fabric into equal lengths equal to the width of the box. Now you need to roll these pieces of fabric into rolls, and then lay them on the bottom of the box. It remains only to place the rings between the rolls. This ring storage box will save space on your dressing table. Since all the rings will be in one place, you will always find the necessary jewelry quickly and easily.
It happens that there is no money for an expensive gift. What to do? Build a beautiful and useful item: a bright and functional jewelry box. Such a craft will come in handy for everyone, because usually rings, earrings, chains are stored at random. Mothers, friends, sisters will be grateful to you for such a gift. And it's time for us to organize our jewelry collection ourselves. Every day we rummage in caskets in search of our favorite earrings, we often break fragile jewelry along the way or leave the ring on the shelf in the hallway and then we cannot find it. And in such a box for rings with your own hands, jewelry will be in sight, will not be lost or broken.
So, you will need:
- shallow box not big size;
- cotton fabric of bright colors;
- contrasting fabric;
- glue (PVA can be used);
- scissors;
- cardboard;
- foam strips.
Step 1. Cut out strips from bright fabric to the size of the side walls of the box with a margin for bending inward. We paste over the outside of the box.
Step 2. Cut out a rectangle from the fabric to the size of the bottom of the box and glue it.
Step 3. Cut strips out of cardboard exactly to the size of the side walls and glue them with fabric on one side, and bend the fabric allowances to the back side. We glue these strips inside the box. You can simply paste over the box with a cloth, but with such inserts it will look more presentable.
Step 4. Cut out a rectangle from the cardboard to the size of the bottom and glue it over with a cloth. We glue the blank on the back of the box.
Step 5. From the strips pasted over with fabric we make partitions in the box. We install them in the box and fix them with glue.
Step 6. Cut out the required number of dividers from the foam rubber, which should fit snugly against each other.
We wrap them in pieces of contrasting fabric (in this case, white), fasten them with threads and put them in a box with glue.
It is a pleasure to place your rings in such a box! True, they played with their beauty?
How and where do you usually store rings? I keep them in a small box in bulk. When there are few rings, then it is easy to choose the one you need, but when there are many? Of course, there are special stands for rings, but today I propose a master class on how to make a convenient box out of any box or drawer, in which all the rings will be like in a showcase.
We will not make the box itself, but its filling.
So, for that work you will need:
- decorative box (cardboard box, box, preferably with a lid;
- beautiful velvety fabric (velor);
- batting (dense felt);
- pins, a needle and thread (sewing machine);
- glue gun;
- scissors.
The amount of fabric depends on the size of the box and the rolls that will fit there.
Diy ring box: work progress
⇒ Step 1. Fold the batting in half and cut into strips the width of your box + 0.5 cm. Estimate how many batting rolls you need and what diameter. The idea is that the rolls should lie tightly in the container, completely filling it both in length and in width. Based on this, roll up the batting, securing the rolls with a pin, and try them on in the box.
⇒ Step 2. Take the fabric and cut the strips to fit the rolls with a 2 cm allowance in the length and width. Fold the fabric in half, right side in, and secure with pins. Check if you can fit this cover onto a roll. If everything is correct, sew the cover lengthwise (or sew by hand).
⇒ Step 3. Turn the cover right side out and slide it over the cotton rolls.
⇒ Step 4. Use fabric glue or hand hem to close the edges of the roll. The edges in the box will not be visible.
⇒ Step 5. Place the finished rolls tightly in the box and use them to your health!
Work options
In fact, you can greatly simplify the process by simply rolling up rolls of thick felt, fabric or even soft terry towels, fasten with a thread so that they do not fall apart, put them in a box and not waste time sewing covers. It all depends on the materials, free time and desire!
