Jewellery boxes

Hi Everyone, I was asked recently to make some boxes for jewellery that had been bought by my SiL to sell for charity, she wanted the price kept on them so people would think they were good value. This meant I had to fit the display holder inside the box.

After playing a little while with ready made designs, I decided to make a box to fit. I intended to make a bottom and top box and cut it out as such, but then realised to show the jewellery off, the top part may get lost or damaged, so I cut the flaps off, as in the first picture, so it could be glued to the bottom for display. I'm glad to say she was pleased with them.

Your boxes are amazing Faith! I love the embossing and the metallic rubs on them. They showcase the jewelry very well! I would cut some batting and place in the box for the jewelry to rest on maybe. I hope the jewelry brings good money for the charity! Hugs, Brenda

Can you tell I'm playing catch up again? I think these boxes are incredible, Faith! Love the embossing and I think I'm going to try something like this. I've never used my embossing folders on boxes before but why not? You've inspired me this morning. :-D
