  • first socks;
  • statement tag;

These little things are important for every woman who has a child. To avoid losing your memorabilia, you can use a small box. However, it will be much more pleasant if it is beautifully and originally designed. Using the master class, the work will not seem difficult, but will become very interesting and exciting.

Materials for work

For work, you will need to use the scheme for forming the box "Mother's Treasures", pictures with inscriptions and images of animals, a reps ribbon with funny pictures 2.5 cm wide, a satin ribbon to match the base, a glue gun, a hole punch.

You also need to prepare:

As a rule, mother's treasures for a boy are created in blue and blue colors. It is customary for girls to choose materials in pink and red colors. However, many women also prefer neutral pastel shades that look very gentle.

Lettering on mom's treasures for printing: several options

Special attention should be paid to the special inscriptions for the commemorative chest. Since it is planned to make several boxes in it, it is very important for each to make its own mark.

The inscriptions can be very different. The main thing is to choose exactly such blanks that will ideally fit into the concept of a magical memorable chest.

How to make boxes: scrapbooking for mom's treasures

When all the necessary elements are ready, you can proceed to the creation of mother's treasures, following the MK.

Step 1 - First, the base is tinkered, which will serve as the bottom for all small blanks. To do this, using the diagram, you will need to cut out the template and glue it.

Step 2 - It is necessary to cut a large rectangle out of scrap paper and stick it on the base, forming a dense bottom. The optimal part width is 19.5 cm, and the length is 29.5 cm.

Step 3 - Then you need to cut out a pair of blanks, which are intended for the covers and the bottom of the structure. Then the same must be done for six templates intended for the top and bottom of small parts. Further, all the bases are glued.

Step 4 - A rectangle made of scrap paper of the appropriate sizes should be glued into each box. When all the small fragments are formed, it is recommended to try them on as a base.

Step 5 - Next, rectangles from scrap paper with the required parameters should be cut out for each cover. As a rule, for small fragments you need 6x7 cm parts, and for large ones, which are used for sliders and other voluminous things, 10x15 cm. The elements are fixed to the lids with double-sided tape.

Step 6 - The covers should be sewn around the edges. After that pictures are glued to them. Only then the workpieces are fastened with a glue stick.

Diy mom's treasures: decorating workshop

When the boxes are ready, you can start decorating them. You need to make 8 cuts of 7 cm from the ribbon. Their edges are processed with a lighter. A suspension is threaded into each. The blanks are tied to a bow, which is then glued, like half-beads, to each box.

Now you can make the cover:

Step 1 - The intertwined fragments are laid out as in the photo below. Strips of watercolor paper go from above, after which the fragments of the structure are glued.

Step 2 - Fabric 30x34 cm in size and 2 cuts with parameters 15x34 cm need to be stitched together. The seams are decorated with lace. Well-ironed fabric covers the binding.

Step 3 - The turns must be fixed with a glue gun.

On a note! The corners must be carefully and beautifully masked by tucking inward.

Jewelry box patterns



In order not to make the pattern of the box yourself, you can download and redraw on special paper, Goznak. Or immediately redraw from the monitor.

In total, you need to make 4 small boxes, one large and one base box. On the first sheet, draw all the small boxes, on the second - the large ones.

When the blueprints are complete, cut them out with a slanting knife on the rubber mat. It is worth paying special attention to the places where the arrows are drawn. In these places, it is important to cut the elements exactly along the main black lines so that the box closes well.

Assembling the product

Now further actions with the future box will be described step by step.

At the beginning of work, along the dotted lines, go scoring under the ruler.

Pay due attention to the box-base: all lines should be clear parallels and perpendicular.

Then collect the boxes, coating the "ears" with superglue.




As a result, you should get four small boxes and one larger.

Collect and glue it. In the end, you should have a neat box. The cardboard should fit perfectly inside the walls.





Box decoration

For paper decor, you need to cut out a piece measuring 18.9 * 7 centimeters. In the center, scoring, cut off the corners 45 degrees to this line. Stick to the outside of the box.



Decorate the outer walls with lace, while closing the spine joint. Leave part of the side free.


Scrapbooking is used. It is necessary to cut out of scrap paper:

- 4 squares with a side of 4.8 centimeters;

- detail 12.1 * 5.8 cm;

- detail 12.1 * 1.8 cm;

- 4 pieces 5.8 * 1.8 cm.

Make small loops from the tape.

At the birth of a baby, every mother has many memorable little things that remain in memory and that need to be preserved. A memorable tag from the hospital is sure to remain. Then, when the baby grows, the first curl is cut off, then the tooth falls out, the beloved nipple and other little things remain. All these are such trifles, which later, many years later, you can get and admire both the mother herself and show her already grown-up child. So we are talking about the need for a special box-casket in which these things will be stored. Today we will make such a box in technology.

So, there is a lot of work to be done, so let's get down to it and start with making a paperback. We take the binding cardboard, lay out all three parts tightly side by side and cut out two strips of 3 * 15 cm from watercolor paper. We divide both of them in half.



Now we glue both of them with a glue stick to the joints of the cardboard, thus glue them together.



We turn over the cover and now measure out the sheet of padding polyester. We glue it to the cover with pieces of double-sided tape.



Now we cut off the fabric. At the edges we will have a pink one with bows, and inside a flower one. Do not forget to make stocks for a fold, at least 2 cm.



We iron the fabric well with an iron and sew it together, sew pink lace at the joints. Now turn the fabric over, put the cardboard cover on and glue the cloth to the cover with a glue stick.



Now we cut off a strip of wide pink tape and glue it in the center from the inside of the cover.



We wrap the cover and try on cards and inscriptions. We sew the cover along the edges of the front side and each card. Now, from a large sheet of scrap paper, we cut out a blank of 14.8 * 25 cm.



We glue it inside our cover with glue with the effect of double-sided tape and put it under the press for 1-1.5 hours. In the meantime, we will deal with the inner large box and the small ones.



According to the diagrams, we cut out a large workpiece.



And these are for small boxes. We smear the tongues with a glue stick and glue a small box. So we make 4 small boxes and 4 lids.



From small sheets of scrap paper, cut out four 6.5 * 6.5 cm squares for the lids and one 14 * 14 cm for the bottom of a large box. We glue the scrap blanks on watercolor strips of scotch tape and sew with a typewriter.



We glue a large box on the tongues.



Now we cut off the strips from the border sheet, punch holes on both sides with a lace punch and glue on the sides of the large box first a strip of lace, then a lace strip of paper.



We also glue the lids of small boxes.



Now we glue the bottom (large box) to the cover, smooth it well and press lightly.



Now we glue tags with inscriptions and bows with pendants on small boxes.
