As I've mentioned in a couple of my posts I've been making glass leaves and going to a regular jewellery making class. And I've wanted to combine the two. However, glass leaves are very fragile and don't travel well.
So I decided to make a box so I could take a couple to class with me, without having to worry if they would get broken on the way.
I started by finding some foam sheet in my stash. This gave me the size of my box. I then used grey card from my stash to make the two parts of the box, which I then covered in some brown paper, which had originally been a M&S paper bag.
I then made a cover so I could stick the two boxes together and make a 'book' as I felt this would be more secure for my leaves. This was also covered in paper bag.
Lastly I used some off cuts of copper and silver to make a catch to keep everything closed.
It works very well, keeping the leaves safe while being moved. I might play with the catch a little as it's a little loose, but otherwise I'm very happy with it.
