Jewelry box from a reel from scotch tape Elena Shevchenko. Do-it-yourself round blank for a box from an unnecessary reel of adhesive tape. Stages of making a box

With your hands, you can create a cute and interesting jewelry box. You can use it for any jewelry, jewelry, beads, buttons, hairpins. The only limitation is its size. special cost it does not require to create it, but it takes only a little effort and time. The size of the box depends on the size of the tape reel.

Necessary materials:

  • reel from adhesive tape;
  • thin cardboard;
  • PVA glue;
  • universal glue;
  • lace;
  • egg shell;
  • satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide;
  • acrylic paint;
  • acrylic lacquer.

Master class: a box from a reel of scotch tape

To work, you need thin cardboard. It is very convenient to use cardboard folders or folders.

We put the reel on the cardboard and circle with a simple pencil on the inside of the bobbin.

Cut out the circle. We need 10-12 such circles (depending on the thickness of the cardboard).

Then again we apply the reel to the cardboard and circle the outside with a pencil. We also cut out 10-12 circles. We glue 5 cardboard circles. To do this, lubricate the circle well with PVA glue, put the second one on it. Lubricate the second and put the third, etc. All blanks must be sent under the press, until the glue dries completely. It turns out only 4 blanks.

With sandpaper with a very fine coating, we grind the side edges well.

We put the reel on a large workpiece, align it and draw it with a simple pencil along the inside. So we mark the place where you need to glue a smaller workpiece. Lubricate the smaller workpiece with glue and apply it to the large workpiece, and send it under the press. We do the same with the second pair of blanks.





When the glue is dry, simply glue the bobbin to one of the blanks. The second blank will serve as a lid for the box. Paint the box and lid with acrylic paint.



The shell is best used from white eggs. It must first be washed and the inner film removed. Then just break it down small pieces and glue to the side of the box with PVA glue. We leave a small distance between the pieces of the shell. We cover the box and the lid with acrylic varnish, it is possible in 2 layers.





Using universal glue, glue two strips of lace to match the box.



To decorate the lid, we make three roses from a satin ribbon. We wrap the edge of the tape inward at 90 degrees and twist it into a tube. Then we bend the tape outward (as if turning it over) and make a turn. Then we bend the tape again and now do half a turn. Continue doing this until you get a rose. Periodically drip a little glue on the lapel and press. We burn the edge of the tape with a candle and simply glue it.













So, we will need:

1. Tape base

2. Thick cardboard

3. Thick paper (watercolor is fine, but a little thicker is better)

4. Paper for decoration outside

5. Fabric for interior decoration

6. Paper tape

7. Double-sided tape

8. PVA glue

9. Stationery knife, scissors, brush, pencil

Release the base from labels and old adhesive tape.

We mark the details, stepping back from the edge of 1.5 cm.

VERY CAREFULLY make an incision with a knife through the base and slowly, like bread, cut the base into two parts. It is not simple. Take care of your fingers!

There should be two parts:


At first, you may not be able to make an even cut between the parts.

Therefore, we simply swap the "seams", this will make the edges of the box neat:

Having applied the base to the cardboard, we trace around the outside with a pencil,

Twice. This will be the lid and bottom.

Another cardboard disk will need to be cut along the inner diameter.


And attaching to thick paper - on the inside ...

And the outer edges (*if there is not enough decorative paper).

Same from thick paper cut out a strip 4x25 cm.


We apply a cardboard disk to the wide part of the future box:


Fix with paper tape.


and glue it tightly, already thoroughly and evenly:


We do the same with the "lid"

We cut the free edge of the adhesive tape into strips and glue it alternately to the disk.

As a result, the following blanks of the box will turn out:

Now cut out two disks of decorative paper and 2 strips

Size 27.5 x 6.5 cm (bottom of the box) 27.5 x 5 (lid)


We coat the base with PVA:

Tightly cover with paper, gluing evenly, without bubbles and distortions,

There should be free paper around the edges:


We coat the edge with glue separately and glue it with an overlap:


We cut the free edge into strips and, having smeared the edge of the bottom with glue,

We press the strips to the bottom.

Do everything carefully, without leaving gaps and cracks.

It will turn out like this:

Now we glue the inner edge of the box together with the end face with glue:

And, in a circle, starting from the place of the cut, we bend,

At the same time aligning the paper.

We make sure that air bubbles and folds do not remain at the ends:

Everything inside should also be neat,

Even though it won't be visible.

Here it must be said that the denser your decorative paper,

The larger and larger the folds will be, keep this in mind.

To the bottom * glue a paper disk

Or (if there is enough material) a decorative paper disk:



We make the top of the box according to the same principle as the bottom.



On the free edge of the paper we make three cuts

(just not tight to the ends!).

We already have the fourth cut)) these are the joints of the paper.

Lubricate the inner sides and a little disc cover with glue.

And, alternately glue all four strips, leveling,

And laying the edges one on top of the other.

This will ensure that there are no folds at the edges.

Glue a smaller paper disk inside.

External design is ready.


Now we take a strip of paper and another cardboard disk

(1-2 mm smaller than inner diameter)

And cut out fabric details for them:

Attach double sided tape to the fabric

And alternately bending the edges, glue the cardboard disc with a cloth.


On fabric strip We also apply double sided tape.

We bend one edge, it is glued.

Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, stick the paper.

At the end where it is bent (in the picture on the left) we glue a strip of adhesive tape,

Surely every woman has thought more than once about where to store small household items such as buttons, beads, rings. Of course, you can buy any box you like in the store, but it is much more pleasant to make a box for storing small things with your own hands. Who would have thought that you can create an original, stylish box for jewelry, buttons, pins or something else from an ordinary tape reel.

For work you will need:
reel from wide adhesive tape,
coil from narrow double-sided tape or masking tape,
pieces of old wallpaper or scrapbooking paper,
thick cardboard,
PVA glue and "Moment",
scissors, ruler,
lace,
ribbons, beads, large buttons for decoration.

First of all, it is necessary to clean both reels of tape and paper residues. Then, placing them on thick cardboard, you need to circle the coils with a pencil to get two circles of the right size. Cut them out. Subsequently, this will be the bottom and lid of the box.



Measure the width of both bobbins, and then draw on the wallpaper strips equal in length to the circumference of each coil. As a result, you should get two strips for each reel. Also, on paper, you need to draw four circles to glue the bottom and roof of the box.



After that, cut out all the details and use glue to attach the elements to the base. To fix them, you can use paper clips until the glue dries completely.




As a result, you should get a box with a lid. All ugly seams can be hidden under lace. You just need to stick it on the joints of paper and cardboard.
To prevent the lid from getting lost over time, you can attach it to the base. To do this, use the same lace. Glue a small piece of it on the outside, and then do the same on the inside of the box.






The craft is ready. It remains only to decorate it. It all depends on your imagination. Decorate the lid of the box satin ribbons, beads, large buttons unusual shape. If desired, you can use shells, beads, sparkles.


There are never too many boxes! But do not rush to buy ready-made souvenirs in stores, try to master the simple technique of decorating unnecessary items.

In this master class, you will learn how to make a box with your own hands from scotch tape bushings. For decoration, a simple but very effective napkin technique was used. The cost of crafts is so small that the finished work gets almost free. This cute jewelry box will be a wonderful storage for jewelry, as well as a gift for a friend, sister or mother.

Budget set of materials

To make a casket from bushings for adhesive tape, you will need:

Cylindrical bushings - 2 pcs.;
thick cardboard;
beautiful paper napkins;
glue, preferably PVA;
pearlescent eye shadow;
decorative beads;
braid 1 cm;
varnish;
watercolor;
brush.

Stages of making a box

After using the adhesive tape, dense cardboard cylinders of different diameters and widths remain. In this case, you should stock up on the basis of wide and narrow adhesive tape of the same diameter. The body of the box will be made from a wide sleeve, and a convenient lid will be made from a narrow one. Both of them must be coated with a primer made from white paint mixed with PVA.


For the bottom and top of the lid, it is necessary to cut out from thick cardboard circles with a diameter larger than the cylinders themselves, approximately 0.5 cm. They should also be primed with white paint and glue.

Each of the parts must be covered with a thick layer of creamy glue and laid on this layer decorative napkins, taking only the uppermost part for work, as for . It is better to stick with shreds. Thin paper, when it gets on the glue, acquires a beautiful wrinkled surface itself. Repeat the operation with all the details separately, let dry.

Connect the parts together with glue, forming a body and a cover. Put under pressure, dry. Connect the cover and the body with a piece of braid, gluing it to both parts. You will get an element that performs the functions of a hinge. See another version of the blank from bushings.

Lay the beads on the glue along the protruding edges of the circumferences of the bottom and lid. Clay do not regret. Since the goal is to make a vintage box, the surface must be visually aged. This task is best handled by mother-of-pearl shadows, which often remain unused in a palette with many shades. Their advantage is a rich choice of colors. It is better to use several tones at once and you can apply them simply with your finger.

Excessively bright gold beads also need to be made less shiny. The primer that covered the entire box will serve its purpose here too. The second layer is applied with pearlescent powder from the shadows, diluted with glue.

Casket from a scotch tape reel.

Do you still throw away empty scotch spools? Do not do that! Now I will show and tell you how to turn garbage into a useful little thing.
So what do we need to create our masterpiece other than an empty spool?
- mat, knife, scissors;
- pencil, glue, acrylic paint;
- cardboard for the lid and bottom (I took thick corrugated cardboard for the bottom, and millimeter for the lid);
- a ribbon-ribbon for fixing the lid (a small piece);
- paper, distress ink and decorations according to your idea.

Initially, I planned to do it a little differently, so I took a picture of the jeans ink, but I didn’t need them in the process. To create this box, I chose this paper. The one with polka dots will be inside. Patterned outside.


1. Let's put the bobbin in order, cut off everything superfluous. We cut out 2 circles from cardboard, just circle the cylinder - one for the lid, and the other for the bottom of our future box. Sand the circle for the lid to make it more even. For the bottom, do not touch yet.


2. Paint the end of the coil on one side and the sides of the cardboard for the cover. I do it with a sponge undiluted paint. For what? So that later the protruding parts look more aesthetically pleasing.


3. Cut out 2 circles for the bottom and 2 for the lid from scrap paper in the same way. Glue one of the paper circles with a cardboard bottom. I used Artugolka glue for this. At first it gets wet and looks ugly, but when it dries, everything straightens out.


Let's apply it like this:


4. Let's go sandpaper along the bottom, overwriting all the bumps.


5. Cut strips to fix the bottom. I took kraft paper. Strips 2 * 6 cm (approximately), pieces 5-6. In general, you can put it on glue, but it seems to me that it will be more reliable.


6. And this is how we stick them.


7. Decorate the circle, which will be the outer bottom. We glue it to the cardboard of the lower part, skin it, tint it with distress ink (I did it in that order).


8. Then we need to cut 2 strips - one for the inside and the other for the outside. I am very lazy! Therefore, I do this: I mark on the bobbin with a pencil - and just roll it over the paper. On reverse side I mark by adding another 1 cm for gluing. And this will be the outer stripe.


9. Insert it inside and note how long the inside will be.


10. And now we tint the stripes. And prepare a ribbon to attach the lid. I have this one.


11. Glue the ribbon-rope inside. As you can see, I took a longer one, as usual, for reliability. Glue for a moment-crystal.


12. Paste inside, then again, skin the edge, tint. Do not forget only that sandpaper should be used when the paper dries. Paper that is wet from glue can tear!


13. Now - outside. It's better if you put the glue on the bobbin and not on the paper. Gently, like wallpaper, wiping with a cloth, consistently.


14. We glue the lid on the other end of the ribbon, we only draw the ribbon on the front part, so it will be easier to decorate. Again, let's leave the tail longer.


15. On the inside of the lid - a paper circle, again we skin and tint. We decorate this side of the lid now, if there is such an idea. I just stamped.

16. And now let's do step 15, but only with the outer part of the lid - and now, the base for the box is ready!


And here the fun begins! Decorate your box as your imagination tells you! Let's add what the soul desires - and all together we will admire the resulting masterpiece!
Here's what happened to me:
