Photobox with your hands - master class with photo

Even in our age of computers and other gadgets, many try not just to take a photo, but also to print it out, and then beautifully decorate it. Make or buy an album for all the photos is not always convenient - the albums take up a lot of space. But the photobox (a box for photos) is not only practical, but still it can be fully designed in its own taste, with a little imagination and effort.

Scrapbooking photobox with my own hands - master class

Necessary tools and materials:

• beer cardboard;
• white cardboard, color cardboard;
• scrapbooking paper;
• pictures for decoration, ribbon, broads;
• fabric, sintepon, elastic;
• stationery knife, scissors, ruler, glue;
• sewing machine.

How to make a photo box by yourself:

1. We cut the beer board onto the part of the right size.
2. From the cardboard we glue a box. To do this, grease the edges of the cardboard with glue and glue them one by one.
3. Now we need to strengthen all the seams of our box, as well as close the cardboard on top.
4. Cut the paper into strips.
5. Further, with the help of a board for creasing, all the strips are folded in half. In principle, this procedure can be done with a conventional ruler and a wooden stick, the main thing is that the lines are even. Angles of strips need to be cut at an angle - for convenience, first make marks at a distance of 1 cm from the edge.
6. To strengthen all joints consistently glue them with paper, and in the end we paste the stripes on the upper edge.
7. Paper for decoration is cut into parts. Elements for the walls immediately sew.
8. On the rectangle that closes the bottom, we will paste a ribbon from below (it is needed for more convenient extraction of photos from the photo box), and then we sew, capturing the tape from one side.
9. We paste our box from all sides with paper.
10. We now turn to the manufacture of the lid. A large rectangle is folded several times. It is worth remembering that the corners of the box are quite dense, so we make creasing (pushing the folds) several times at a distance of 1.5 mm from each other.
11. Then paste the sintepon on the cardboard and wrap it on top with a cloth.
12. On the part of the cover that will be on top, we make a layout and stitch it.
13. As a fastener we fix with a help of the broads a circle of cardboard and an elastic band.
14. For the inside of the photo box, make a kind of lid, but at 05, cm less and decorate it with paper as shown in the photo.
15. Finally, glue the box to the lid.
16. In such a box the photo is conveniently stored or presented as a gift.
