Mom's treasures for a boy - step-by-step master class
For a mother, the simplest little things associated with a child can become the most valuable treasures in life, and as you know, treasures require decent packaging and there is nothing more interesting than creating a magic box with your own hands.
DIY mother’s treasures for a boy – master class
Required tools and materials:
- beer cardboard;
- white cardboard, craft cardboard;
- scrapbooking paper;
- pictures for decoration, brads, large button;
- fabric, padding polyester, elastic, ribbon;
- scoring board;
- stationery knife, scissors, ruler, glue, eraser;
- sewing machine.
Master class on making a mother's treasure box for a boy:
- We cut the beer cardboard into pieces of a suitable size.
- Cut the kraft paper into strips.
- We crease all the strips in the middle and cut off the corners.
- We form a box from beer cardboard, generously lubricating the edges with glue.
- Next, we sequentially reinforce the joints of the box with strips of kraft paper: first on the outside, then on the inside, and finally on top.
- To decorate the box, we will cut and sew paper parts. And then we will glue all sides.
- Then we will make the base for the lid from white cardboard. The lid needs to be quite large, so you can buy large sheets of cardboard or glue it together from several parts.
- We crease the cardboard (press the folds) - the lid should fit tightly around the box, but not be too tight.
- Now we will glue the padding polyester onto the lid and cover it with fabric and sew it.
- We sew on an elastic band that will become a holder for the lid.
- Let's make a layout on the lid - in this case you can use many colored elements, including not only pictures, but also paper as a backing.
- We complement paper decorations with brads, ribbons and stickers. We sew on the button so that the elastic holds the lid, but does not stretch too much.
- For the inside of the lid, we cut out and sew a paper part and a transparent plastic part.
- Now we’ll make a photo card from craft cardboard and scrapbooking paper.
- Let's move on to creating the boxes - they will be of three sizes.
- We cut off the excess, crease the folds and erase the markings.
- We glue the boxes (for reliability, you can fasten the boxes with clamps).
- We cover the sides of the boxes with paper (the paper elements should be 1 cm smaller than the sides).
- We decorate the details for the upper parts with inscriptions.
- 20. We form “tongues” from the ribbons and seal them with paper.
Finally, we glue the box to the lid and place it inside the keepsake box. The result is a box using the scrapbooking technique of mother’s treasures for a boy.
You can also make a wonderful photo album with your own hands using the scrapbooking technique.

Scrapbooking
What is scrapbooking? This is an art that is handicraft, decorating something, even a simple box. The most important thing for scrapbooking is the desire to create, a flight of limitless imagination, the presence of diligence and love. If mom wants
, you still want to make your treasury of memories in the highest class, but you don’t have enough imagination, and this happens at the beginning, on the Internet you can find many templates with detailed descriptions that will help you create a masterpiece with your own hands, in which all the love for your child is invested.
In fact, there can be hundreds and thousands of cool ideas. You just have to look at your baby and ask yourself what special thing I want to do for him, what I want to dress up my memories of his carefree and so quickly passing childhood, what I want to remember in the future. Thoughts come by themselves.
But it happens that my mother has created so many beautiful products over the course of several years that it seems that this is the highest class, that nothing could be more unusual. Then you can use ideas from the Internet, which contains a huge amount
information about scrapbooking products for every taste. Such items have been collected from all over the world by professionals and amateurs, mothers, grandmothers, young girls who only dream of motherhood, but are already preparing for it, contributing to “mother’s treasuries.”
There is no identical fantasy in the world. Some people love the sea. This means that all ideas will be embodied in a marine theme and travel. Others prefer rare flowers. You can guess that the work will be devoted to rare, and perhaps not yet emerging plants
and flowers on the planet. Let's just say, flowers from the future. Some people love cars, so all the needlework will probably consist of real machine screws, nuts, and maybe even large parts. A great idea for those mothers who have sons.
Many people believe that to master this type of activity you need to spend a huge amount of money and purchase unimaginable items. In fact, this is not true. Most likely, every housewife has a lot at home
. For example, a box, buttons, scissors, glue, rhinestones, colored paper, stencils purchased for the child, cardboard, ruler, pencils, a piece of fabric, thread and needles. A novice mother only needs to purchase stamps, and, if desired, scrapbooking paper, beads, flowers, lace, in order to be sure to create a masterpiece of a true master.

Master class “Mom’s treasures”
Hello, my good ones!))))))))))
Yes, yes))) I finally filmed this long-awaited MK for you))
It turned out to be quite voluminous. but it’s not that easy either. Therefore, I tried to describe everything step by step and in detail.
Make yourself comfortable... let's begin))))))))))
1)
First you need to prepare the necessary tools and materials.
We will need:
- good attitude and self-confidence)) Don’t be discouraged if something doesn’t work out the first time. Everything will definitely work out from the second)) During the master class, we made such treasures with the girls in just 4 hours of pure time.
— 2 sheets of Goznak paper for drawing in A1 format. I highly recommend buying this kind of paper, since its quality and density are an order of magnitude higher than those of other companies. It is sold in regular office supplies. If you look at the light, you can see a watermark with “Goznak” written on it.
- It is also not necessary to buy such a large format of paper, but it is convenient for me to work with this.
- - beer cardboard 1.5 mm thick
- - a metal ruler, preferably at least 50 cm in length
- - regular ruler 30 cm
- - stationery knife
- creasing machine with a thin ball at the end (knitting needle, non-writing pen, etc.)
- - sharpened pencil
- - scissors
- — glue “Moment”
- - sewing or wide lace, about 102 cm
- - cotton or satin ribbon
- - cotton
- — padding polyester
- — scrap paper
- - decorations.
- 2)
Print out the drawings of our future boxes
We will need to make 4 small boxes 6x6x6 cm, 1 large box 12.3x6x6 cm and 1 base box 13x19x6 cm.
By carefully looking at the drawings, you can see not just the dimensions of the boxes, but also the marks on the ruler. Very!!!!
It’s convenient to draw boxes without setting each size anew and without moving the ruler each time.
Just make the necessary pencil marks where shown on the drawings (that's why a long ruler is needed). There are marks both horizontally and vertically.
In addition to the fact that this greatly simplifies the drawing process, we minimize future errors, which will in any case be caused by the thickness of the pencil and the divisions of the ruler.
3)
Draw rectangles on paper. On 1 sheet of A1 format there are 4 small boxes, and on the other - 1 large box and a base box.
We get 6 lined rectangles
4)
Using a stationery knife on a rubber mat, we cut off all excess along the bright black lines. Now I don’t draw out all the “ears” anymore. I immediately cut them off “by eye” with a knife.
Please note that at the bottom of the first two drawings the pencil line is literally 1 mm below the black line along which the paper is cut.
This is done so that when the paper is folded inside the box, it can be easily inserted inside.
Let's look a)
Let's see b)
There is one more important point that I would like to draw your attention to. On the vertical drawings we mark exactly 30.05 cm (30 cm and only half a millimeter!!!
). This action will prevent the lids of future boxes from falling inside.
On the base box we cut off the extra millimeter from 4 sides
As a result, our drawings after trimming look like this
A small box looks like this (don’t forget that there should be 4 of them)
The big box looks like this
And here is our base box
5)
Next, we use the red dotted lines. This is convenient to do with a regular and light wooden ruler.
6)
I fold the boxes using nail scissors. Very comfortable, and the edge is smooth and clear
Be especially careful when creasing the base box. The lines must be parallel to each other. The thickness of our box is 1.5 mm. That's why I always use cardboard 1.5 mm thick.
7)
Glue the boxes together. First, lubricate all 4 beveled “ears” with glue at once and glue them
We bend it inward and glue 2 even “ears” on top
9)
All that remains is to glue the last big, even “ear”))))))))))))))))
We should receive 4 ready-made small boxes and 1 large box
10)
Cut out 2 rectangles 18.7x6.7 cm and 2 rectangles 12.7x6.7 cm from beer cardboard
11)
Glue cardboard to the sides of the base box
12)
Glue one beveled “ear”
13)
Then the second
14)
Apply glue to the 2 remaining “ears” at once and quickly glue them one by one
15)
We bend it inward and glue the straight “ears” of the short sides
16)
Then the remaining “ears” of the long sides
And we get a ready-made base box. Beer cardboard should ideally fit into the walls of the drawing paper
17)
Cut out a rectangle 18.9 x 7 cm from drawing paper. We crease in the middle and cut at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the creasing line
18)
Glue the resulting strip on the outer long side of the box
From the side of the spine it looks like this
19)
The disadvantage of this method with thick walls is that it creates unsightly corners.
20)
With the help of sewing or lace, we correct this moment. You need 2 cuts of 51 cm each.
On the spine side, we do not glue the sewing along the entire length.
21)
Now we can insert our boxes inside)
22)
From scrap paper we cut out 4 squares 5.8x5.8 cm, 1 rectangle 12.1x5.8 cm, 1 rectangle 12.1x1.8 cm, 4 rectangles 5.8x1.8 cm
23)
Make 5 loops from cotton ribbon
24)
I print out the inscriptions. We tint them around the edges.
25)
Glue scrap paper, loops, inscriptions and decorations
26)
We cut out the cover from beer cardboard: 1 rectangle 14x20.5 cm and 1 rectangle 13.7x20.5 cm.
The cover is 3 mm wider than the base!
It took a long time to arrive at these dimensions through experience))))))))))
We cut out a spine of 20.5 x 7 cm from drawing paper. Glue everything onto padding polyester. The gaps are approximately 5 mm.
27)
Covered with cotton. I used 2 types of Korean cotton
28)
We decorate our cover completely, attach all the necessary elements, sew buttons on the spine, and design the “back” if desired.
And only after the cover is completely ready, we first glue the base box to the lid using the remaining part of the strip of paper (like an album binding), and then glue the bottom of the base box. We do not glue the spine!!!
29)
We cut out a 13.8 x 19.9 cm rectangle from scrap paper and create a flyleaf. In total, it takes me 2 sheets of scrap paper 15x15 cm for such treasures
That's it)) our treasures are ready))))))))))))))
We enjoy the result and praise ourselves)))))))))))))

"Gluing the Treasury Pieces"
While preparing the materials, you carefully selected and selected the glue for the job. I offered to buy Erich Kraus glue, but someone replaced it with another one, maybe tested by you, or maybe just by guess. You will need to glue all the parts very carefully, Erich Kraus glue is also good, it has a drying time of 1 minute, you can aim first and then glue it, you will also be able to move it a little, but (!) after that it will no longer be possible to peel it off. Other glue dries quickly, may form voids (bubbles), or may go into waves. If you don't know glue, glue one part and see how it behaves: whether it glues well, whether there are any bubbles, or whether there are any waves. The glued box is the appearance of your work. When gluing, all corners and sides should converge without creating waves. NEVER glue by weight, this is the very first and main mistake of a crooked edge! When in weight, you can pick it up slightly without any effort. Only by gluing on a solid base do you get smooth sides and edges. And so let's get started, we will need: 1) Glue Erich Kraus 2) Your boxes
