Thread box

Beautiful and convenient boxes for storing various trinkets are always needed in the house. For example, I like to knit, but over the years of doing this hobby, I have gathered a lot of yarn remnants, which, on the one hand, I need, and on the other hand, they constantly lie in the wrong place, get confused. I needed a box in which I would put all the threads in which they would not get tangled, they would all be in one place always at hand. I didn’t want to use an ordinary cardboard box from under the shoes, because, firstly, none of them matched in size, and secondly, the cardboard box immediately spoils the interior, making it cheap and cluttered. Therefore, my husband made me a beautiful wooden box with an original metal-plastic lid.
To create the box, we needed a 2 cm thick board, 2 metal-plastic sheets, 9 self-tapping screws, a grinding nozzle for a grinder.
1. Cut 4 sides from the board. Two of them have dimensions of 40 by 15 cm, another two - 25 by 15 cm.
2. On each board above and below we make grooves at a distance of 1 cm from the edge.
3. On one small side plate on top we do not make a groove, but cut the bar at a distance of 1 cm from the edge.
4. Using a grinder and a grinding nozzle, we grind all the details.
5. We begin to collect the box. Using screws, we fasten three walls. Attention, since our walls are quite thin, first we drill with a drill 1 mm thicker than the thickness of the self-tapping screw. We twist the screws into the holes. On each side we screw in 2 screws - above and below.
6. Cut out the bottom and cover of metal-plastic with parameters 38 by 23 cm.
7. Insert the bottom into the grooves.
8. We fasten the fourth side (with the trimmed edge).
9. Make a pen. It can be cut out of the bar, or you can buy a finished pen.
10. On the cover we put notes where the handle will be, drill holes. We fasten the handle.
11. Insert the cover into the grooves. We fasten the bar, which remained from the sidewall.
Our box is ready. In it you can put not only threads, but also other small items - cosmetics, jewelry, stationery, small children's toys and so on.
