Easy DIY: Ring Boxes 1

Why would we want to know how to make ring boxes? Because why not. Here's Ring Box #1. I'll show you how to make Ring Box #2 next week.

Here's what you'll need:

Note: Up top are all the materials. I'm only going to list the materials for Ring Box #1.

-Hot glue gun

-Exacto-knife

-A piece of sponge

-Black felt (or velvet)

-A little box

Let's make a ring box:

1. First measure out your box and then cut a matching piece of sponge. Make sure it fits in the box.

2. Now cut a matching piece of felt! You may want scissors for this. Exacto-blades don't like felt. Sponge, but not felt.

3. Glue your felt n' sponge together so it looks like one of those cheap desserts you get at a buffet. 

4. Now cut that sponge. I put three slits in mine since it wasn't a big piece of sponge.

5. After all that gluing and cutting, you can stuff your sponge cake right into the box. You can go ahead and glue it in there but friction does well in holding it in place; just in case you need the box again.

6. Ta-dah. You have a little ring box.

More notes/tips:

Keep in mind here, you can make yours as fabulous as you want. You can put washi tape on your box. You can use a different kind of felt (I originally wanted orange felt but I couldn't find it). The possibilities are endless with a DIY as simple as this.
