Now we have a master class in which we will learn how to make a practical, soft box for children's photos.
We take the following for the master class:
• Dense binding cardboard: two rectangles 16.5 * 11.5 cm and one 16.5 * 5.5 cm;
• Sintepon;
• Marine cotton in two colors, in white and navy blue;
• Scrapbooking paper with a marine motif;
• Napkin dark blue from the cutting;
• Bunny cut down blue;
• Blue cotton lace 3 cm wide;
• Wooden chipboard with the inscription "Our son" or "Mother's treasures";
• Tape blue with pompons;
• Double-sided tape;
• Brads of blue color;
• Suspension metal steering wheel;
• Watercolor paper sheet 32 * 37 cm;
• Glue stick;
• Ruler and elastic;
• Patterned hole punch;
• Ink pad;
• Ribbon rep with anchors;
• Scissors and pencil.

We start by making a hard cover. For this we take a thick cardboard and cut two strips of white cardboard to connect all the binding parts together into one cover. We take two pieces of cardboard 4.5 * 16.5 cm. We divide both in half and draw bends so that it can be well glued between the blanks and at the same time that it closes and opens well.

Smear the cardboard with glue stick and glue them on the binding paper. First, glue one section, and then the other, smooth it well.

We draw another line of bends with scissors. We are now gluing a synthetic winterizer onto strips of double-sided tape ...

Now take the fabric.

We cut two pieces, one is slightly larger than the other, and at the junction we will sew blue lace. The fabric is ironed.

We sew the fabrics, we sew our lace strip on the joint. Now we put the fabric, as in the photo, with the face down.

We put our cover and now with the help of glue stick we will bend the fabric and glue it to the binding cardboard.

We also pass with glue stick on the sides and above and below. Everything must be carefully wrapped and glued.

It turns out like this.

We cut two pieces of tape with anchors, glue inside the cover into pieces of double-sided tape.

Fold our cover and we will decorate the front side. From the scrapbook paper, cut a rectangle 8.5 * 12 cm, take a picture and a napkin.

We glue the rectangle onto the scrap, sew it on, then glue the napkin on it, glue it on top of the napkin and sew the hare with the picture.

Now we insert the suspension into the brads and fix it in the corner of the card. In the corners of the picture we also fix the brads.

We cut the rectangle from scrapbook paper 12 * 22 cm and we will paste it inside the cover using glue with the effect of adhesive tape. Press and leave for a while until completely dry.

While the cover dries, prepare the base of the box. To do this, take a watercolor blank, divide it into parts, as in the photo. We draw bending lines under the ruler, cut off the excess.

Glue a 10.5 * 15 cm rectangle inside and sew it on.

We bend along the lines and glue the box along the tails. We still have scrapbook paper and just we need a piece of 5 * 16 cm and two pieces of 5 * 11 cm to paste over the side parts of the base of our casket. If there is a curb hole punch, then on the one hand these blanks can be made curly. Glue the sides as well with glue stick.

Now we glue the base into the cover, close and press it so that the box dries. You can put a couple of light books on top.

We tie a box on a bow, glue a wooden inscription and a ribbon with pompons.

Ready sea box for children's photos. It turned out to be roomy and suitable for storing photos 10 * 15 cm in size. Thank you for your attention and all good creation!
