Project 1--Insert Box

Gift Box (top view)
This year's first project is a handmade box that will hold theater inserts. These are the inserts that are placed in the Playbills at a Broadway theater when an understudy goes on. These were gifts given to understudies and swings. The size of this box will hold standard half-sheets of 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper (4.25 by 5.5 inches).


Step One: Assembling the top and bottom trays out of Binder's Board.


Step Two: Selecting the covering materials (Marbled papers and Canson paper)


Step Three: Covering the trays. Making the relief cuts.


Step Four: Top and Bottom trays covered.


Step Five: Covering the bottom and top liners (velvet paper covered matt board).
