It’s easy to turn an old box or box into an exclusive jewelry case!
ABOUT THE BOX
You still have an old blouse or shawl with a bright pattern - do not throw them away. They can be used to tighten the casket with their cloth, and in addition to sew a beautiful cushion out of it for storing rings, bracelets, watches. Volumefly should be placed under the tissue. As a result, an ordinary cardboard, plywood or plastic box will turn into a work of art.
You will need:
Old flat box, case or box
Bright colored patches for the upper side of the pillow
Solid fabric flap for bottom side of pad
Sewing threads - contrasting or tone-on-tone
Volumenfliz
Special quilting foot
Thin plywood
Jigsaw
Sandpaper
Stapler
How to sew a pad
Wash shreds of fabrics at 40 degrees and iron them. Measure the lid of the casket and cut out the details for the pillow with allowances for seams of 1.5 inches from colored fabric, plain fabric and volumeflise (see the last photo).Lay the plain fabric face down, volume-wise on it, and then the top fabric face up. Chop all three layers, then sweep.
Insert a special presser foot into the machine with which you can grind all three layers so that they do not slip. Quilting, starting from the edge, along the lines separating the patterns or colors of the fabric.
How to fix a pillow in a box
Measure the length of the inner walls of the box, then apply these dimensions to a thin sheet of plywood, while slightly reducing the size, as the pillow will be covered with a volume patchwork.
Cut a piece of plywood of the right size and sand the edges with sandpaper. Put the quilted pillow upside down, put a piece of plywood in the center of the bottom side of the pillow. Pull one side of the pad around the sides of the plywood sheet and secure with a stapler. Do not stretch too tight so that the quilted pattern does not warp and does not lose its structure. Now fasten the opposite side with the stapler, then alternately two other opposite sides. Put the pillow in the box - the original little thing is ready!
