Topic: Boxes
My second box in Cartonnage was a redesign of one from Colorway Arts. They have instructions for one that opens from the side and has a little open tray set into the bottom of one side. On the upper walls they attach holders for notions like little scissors, needles, pins and such.
I wanted to have room for more trays so I redesigned to be taller and staggered the mounting of the trays inside.
I used four fabrics on this project.
Here is the closed box with the lid on top.
With the lid removed. I centered the fabric design on the lid.
With the box opened. The trays are glued in on two sides for stability so the box does not open any farther than this.The lid can be used as an additional tray when the box is open.
Here you can see down into the trays.
When the box is closed the trays interleave but do not rest upon one another. The lid is what keeps it all from unfolding.
