Here's how you can make nice, practical, custom and cheap boxes :DI also love them because they can stand on their own (you can use them on shows stacked against a slightly leaning board/wall/whatever, you save time on packing because the earrings/jewelry is half packed already and the earrings hang nicely in the box)oh! and you can also put some cotton or fuzzy material on the bottom to stop the earrings from smashing into each other = handy for shippingYou need:- thick paper or thin cardboard- scissors- ruler- some sort of strong adhesive (or a hot glue gun)if you want to pack earrings you'll need these too:- wire - 0,4mm or 0,6mm will do- aneedle or something sharp and pointy- pliers - round and flat nose- something to cut the wire withPhoto #2 - i used a dull file to make the folding grooves you see in the photo. It is easier and neater to fold this paper (?) when the folds are grooved like thisThe lid is very easy to make. The measurements i mention here are just to explain how to make the box, don't take them literallyThe last flap (named 9mm flap here) should be a bit smaller then the first flap (the 11mm flap) because otherwise you would have to be laser-precise to make it fit perfectly. Even a 0,2mm difference looks messy. so you just make the last flap a bit narrower and everything is peachyhttps://i.redd.it/ar3mbro3zty01.jpg via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2rUqV5c
