 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching today so if you are watching it's because you want to make the dividers out or the tray so that you know you don't have to have both for the bureau storage box that I shared earlier so I've gone ahead and cut everything down here and I've done a few stages just because it's a lot of gluing sticking that kind of thing so what I would advise you to do first is make the tray first of all and then make the dividers because when the tray sits down you want to make sure that it sits perfectly over the halfway point of the dividers and that will all come together and make sense as we work through this. I've already gone ahead I'm using the same grey board so it's the two mil that I've linked into my other video so I'll share this one as well but this piece here measures it's seven and seven eighths of an inch and that's quite key you need to get it bang on that really but I also in the same breath some some of yours might be slightly narrow let me bring in mine just so I can kind of explain these bits because I don't want anybody to make the tray and then find it doesn't fit so this on mine this exact gap from inside here to inside here so don't take into account the width of your grey board because that will add you know over another quarter inch but mine is you know just slightly over eight inches and I mean slightly but it's when these kind of measurements you know exact do kind of you know are necessary to get right so with this I've gone in at seven and seven eighths and you can see there this is the base of the tray it's got a lot of room but by the time you bring up both the sides and you have the paper this is a side here that's going to actually be on the side of that and once that one goes in there it almost holds itself in so you need to come in smaller considerably smaller really like I said it does really move around but you've got to add more to it and then that will create that kind of you know bulk that will allow it to kind of slide in and it's going to sit on top of that divider but you want to make sure your dividing section is just the same as this piece here the same kind of you know comes out the same distance and that's why I think it's best to make the tray first of all okay so hopefully that just explains a little bit there on the measurement so seven and seven eighths of an inch but and that is by three and three quarters that's for the base and I've already gone ahead and just cut a pattern piece of paper the same size and just stuck it on the top if you would rather wrap like we've done with lots of the you know the sides to the bureau then you can do but this is going to be on the bottom and I'm just going to put another pattern piece and we're going to have tabs that are going to come around on that then for the front and the back sides you'll want two pieces that again are seven and seven eighths of an inch by two and three quarters and so that's two pieces and then you'll want two pieces of pattern paper to cover those which are five I've done five by ten yeah it was five by ten these are scrap pieces from other projects that I've been making and you may not want to do it all separate you may be doing it all the same print so but again a lot of you you know will know what you're doing with all of this then for the side pieces these are two and three quarters by three and three quarters and then to cover those I've got two pieces of pattern paper four and a half by five again they're kind of scrap pieces once you see how it's all put together you know it will make sense you actually want those to be the same that's five yeah five will probably be a bit better mine's just going to be slightly shorter because it was scrap pieces I didn't want to cut into you know more stuff when I didn't really need to okay so first of all you're going to grab don't want to mix I'm going to talk through the cross-section measurements later on okay so I've got a piece of the pattern for the front make sure you got it the right way up flip it over and you're going to stick this right into the the middle there okay so that's stuck down next you want to get two of your side pieces and you're going to stick them either side again with that same kind of gap that we've done for the bureau okay so I don't need to talk in too much detail with that because you would have come from that video and this will be linked into that one so I'm just popping a bit of glue just there and then I'm just going to sit that one down there okay and then do the same with this side okay so while that's just drying I'm going to grab the other longer piece here so there's like I said that may be your front this is the back again with your paper and I'm just going to stick this one in here okay so you would have just seen then I've then attached this to the other side there don't worry about that end for the minute we'll do that as almost like the last piece because I want to have it so that you can't see any kind of joints and things like that I've also just gone and started to fold these pieces up so it's all very similar things you know that we've done to make the bureau itself okay and then if you just flip it over like so we're now going to use our side pieces to cover now I actually have made these two wide because I had another idea in my head of how I was putting it together at the time so these pieces actually let me just flip this back over they only need to cover this actual section so I'm going to have mine let's do so three and three quarters by it would be five okay so well I've changed that measurement to three and three quarters and yeah I'm just going to bring it in just a little bit short because again everyone's is going to be slightly different but it's just is about three and three quarters and then in fact now I can keep it this way probably easier this way and then what's going to happen is that's going to stick over there imagine yours will be five mine's just obviously coming down shorter but what you will probably find easier to do now that's started to dry is I'm going to bring up the sides here just kind of burnish the paper there where that fold is okay like so and then you can flip it over then if you're working with directional paper just make sure it's the right way I can see my creases now so I want to stick that in between like so and just make sure you've got equal overhang so I can see it comes down the same there so for this I'm going to add glue all down the side and then all in the middle and I've just done this style throughout the bureau I've just done different pattern paper so you know you can like I said by all means do it the same all over I just quite like having that yeah just different different patterns on different sides of you know the box and the trays and the dividers and stuff which you'll see in a moment so I'm just rubbing off that glue there again just fold up the sides okay so you can see now what we're getting here so I'm going to add glue all along here right along that side in a bit there as well all the way up to that piece so just don't go right off the edge yet that's all stuck down completely stuck there but you'll see this is still open there just that little bit because you need that to be able to stick this end here sorry there that's all stuck as well you couldn't see that then but that's going to just slot in under there okay so that's all stuck down I just went to do that which is what I done before on the bureau and don't do that because these are our hinges to stick our base onto so anyway so you would have had the top done there next we want to bring this around okay and you're going to add some glue into this piece here and on that side just kind of splodge it all in there okay and then that is going to slot inside okay and just get it right in there make sure everything's nice and straight you've got that right angle just let that glue do its thing okay and then again I've got that piece now which is going to stick with that same overhang on the ends there so get that one stuck down okay so you can see now how it's all coming together so with this bottom part here that's all overhanging we're going to stick it together just like we did oh keep hitting my lamp just like we did with the base of the bureau so I'm just going to cut up all of those corners where you would have folded like so and then you'll be able to fold them in like this okay and then it's that inside part there that we will then stick this piece onto and it should slide in there perfectly you want it to be nice and tight see okay but I think actually before we do that I think you should cover the sides because you can then have it go down slightly past the base so that you won't see you know any greyboard at all but I just think you get a really nice finish and then all you've got to do is put a piece of paper on the bottom as we did with the bureau so I'm just going to pop that back out and I've got two pieces here that are four and a half by three and a half and they're going to stick in there and it's going to over you know it's going to stick slightly onto each side of your front and back I'm going to bring it right down so it's nice and neat but then if you go in you're probably best folding it into shape first I'm just using my bone folder there push it right in you get a really nice crease doesn't matter if there's a little bit more on one side but as long as there's something but can you see how that's then going to go in see I've just folded it just pushed right in there like that with my bone folder okay and then what you can do you want to overhang in the bottom because it's going to form again that hinge kind of part but the top parts where you've got the fold because now I would say to actually really burnish it better with your bone folder like so and then just so you don't get anything kind of poking out the top just take a little wedge just off the top pieces there okay and then you can add glue onto the back of all of this and stick it inside and then all we're going to do is just cut two you know easy just pieces just to stick over that and it'll cover these tabs just sliding that in there and just come down just a little bit from the top there okay you just go in there again and just spread that all out and just make sure you get really nice right angles and you can stick it right down onto the paper below here because then we're just once that's completely dry we just fold it back up on itself so it just will add you know a lot more strength to the bottom there as well you'll have something like that so I've got a little bit more stuck on that side than I have there but as long as there's something because then what we're doing is we'll have the pattern paper exactly the width of this that we'll just stick over that and because we've cut in on an angle there you won't get it poking up the top okay but do that again on this end so that's all done then I've got these two pieces I know the directions go in a little bit funny here but again it's inside but this is seven and three quarters by you want it to be four really again but you'll see how it looks if it's a little bit shorter it's not going to affect anything the reason why it's seven and three quarters is because it's going inside here so you have to take off the width of your greyboard so please just measure inside see I'll put my ruler inside that bit and I can see it comes up bang on there seven and three quarters all right so because again yours might be just slightly different but that's just going to slide in there and stick and you want to line up the top of the paper with the top of this piece here okay and because you've cut it on a little angle you won't see the join but can you see that's all nice and neat and that will just sit in there perfectly and then just stick the other one and the overhang will come down here you see it might just slightly shorter than that piece so as long as it is overhanging because again it's all part of that hinge so I'm going to stick both of those down okay so what you'll need to do now if you hadn't done already but you just need to go in and just cut back up those corners because you'll have the those are not doing very well so then you've got glue on them just cut back up into those just so we can fold everything in for the base to stick to okay and then I'm going to fold in the sides so you might want to take a little bit off the corners there because you might get a bit of bulk because you've got the two lots of the card stock or the paper like so and then just fold that and then that can fold and fold they're all going to stick on top of each other I'm just going to add my glue just on the four corners of the side pieces and then I can just stick those over and if you just you can pop your you know fingers underneath there and just really secure that down turn it upside down you can just go in there and push that down book your bone folder and just make sure it's you know you've got nice right angles on everything you want it to be slightly wonky okay and then I'm going to add glue onto the top of all of these pieces okay and then grab your base and just slide that in like I said it will wedge in that's what you want it to be nice and tight push that right down again you can really push everything together and again just flip it over push all that down okay and we cover the bottom in a minute but just bring in your bureau and now that will sit perfectly inside okay but mine isn't going right down to the bottom mine is just going to sit up the top here okay because we're going to have that crossover section and that's what this tray is going to sit on top but it will come right up to this piece here so that it will allow you to be able to close it still I just think it's a really nice addition and it's great because you can take it out and obviously you know whatever you've got in there you can keep on your desk at that time and and so on so for the bottom to cover that you will just need a piece of paper again I would do seven and three quarters by three and three quarters stick that one down on the base there let me again flip it over and just push down on all of that so I'm going to pop that to one side and now we can start on the dividing sections okay so now we're going to make this piece here all right to sit in the bottom of the bureau now the way that I'm putting it together you can if you wanted to have two pieces this length I'll give it to you in a minute cut up one of them cut down the other one and slot them in but because we're working with a greyboard I think a few people will find that quite difficult to do even I wouldn't get that lined up properly and then you're going to have pattern paper over the top of it and getting that I just I don't know some of you will probably whizz through and want to do it that way that's fine the measurements I'm going to give you are what I'm doing for my one but do try it first okay so this one here is bang on eight by three okay so this piece here again I'm going to bring the bureau in he's going to go down here and can you see it just it kind of sits in there itself that's what you want and you want it to be flush with the front of this piece here okay so check yours first of all you know get your ruler measure in here from the very back there you can see mine is bang on eight just about see that there all right from the inside of this piece here and then like I said that height you want it to be three because then it will sit nicely with this so if you want to have two pieces like that measure again this side you can see kind of just hold itself in there it's a little bit looser that way but do check it first of all so I'm going to be covering all of this but what I want to do is I've got this piece here because I just want to cover the middle okay because what you'll find is when we cover it all you'll have a tiny bit of grayboard just showing in the center so if you just put a little bit of whatever pattern paper it is that you're using so I'm going to cover all of it around like so so this is just a piece of one by six and a quarter I think it is because it's come off yeah six and a quarter so I'm just going to pop some glue on this here just make sure it's in the middle so there's my halfway there four inches you can see that runs through and it literally is just going to cover you know a small area but it could be really frustrating I mean you might want to put a little embellishment there if you didn't want to do this or something there's ways around it but I just find just do this and it's it's fine and then I'm just going to trim off the excess and you'll find that I've made everything a little bit longer with this because I think it's easier to just trim off any overhangs you get a really nice finish and you get that pattern paper covering everything so just spread that all out again make sure it's all stuck down okay then you're going to have these two pieces here and I think actually before we do that get your bureau and get this piece and this piece and we need to mark on this where we're going to attach the crossover pieces so pop this in right way up like so and pop your tray on and you'll see that sits perfectly on there you might just want to have one divider like that because you can just run some glue along the bottom of this stick it in put some glue along the side stick it in just have two dividers there and then the tray on the top okay if that's the case then you'll want to cover all of that and um you know and then you're done but you can see where the tray sits so you want it pushed right to the back here all right and you know don't worry if this isn't banging the middle in terms of along this bit at the minute but what you do want to do is with a pencil is just mark where the tray sits on here so I'm just going to come down to the side and it's just about the okay because what you don't want is a gap you don't want to put the dividers say here and then you've got a gap here or they're too far under and this is overhanging into this section so if you just put a pencil mark like so I mean it is pretty much in the middle there so I'm happy with that but then what we can do is you're going to have four pieces of pattern paper in the same print that you're using which are one and a half by three and these are going to become hinges which we're going to stick to these pieces here so these again are three by just under four and the reason they're just under four is because they are going either side of this so although it will almost it will become eight you know in length by the time you take out this depth that you've got here or the width sorry however you want to say of the gray board that will then make it eight inches so you need to cut these just under four inches both of them okay with this here you're going to add some glue just covering you know half inch three quarters of an inch of both sides and this just thinks an easy way for everybody to be able to do it and you don't have to worry about you know cutting into the gray board and things like that why is the paper shorter than the uh it doesn't matter because this is the hinge actually I'm not too worried about um because that will all get covered so just sit them on both sides so they you know line up the same because we're going to open these out and like I said that's our hinges and this is all going to be hidden so it's those ones and then again the same on this one okay so you have two pieces like this and then you just want to make sure you glue's dry but just fold it both pieces over one side and then both pieces over the other and then just open it up and you will have a hinge we can now stick that but again you by using the same pattern paper you're just getting rid of any signs of the gray board and again that's not completely stuck but I can just get away with it like so and again open it up okay and these are going to stick right on that pencil line okay on each of these so I'm going to that one's still drying a little bit so we're going to this one this one is set I'm just going to put my glue over both sides and along the gray board because you've got a surface there as well okay and then sit this one down on that pencil line and make sure it's nice and straight it'll be a bit floppy for the minute until that glue really starts to set and just kind of tack it in place let it kind of start to grab and then once that you feel it really stiffening up you can come in with your bone folder and start pushing it in there but don't do it just yet because you might you know rip the paper so I'm just going to leave that there for a second and again stick it down just line it up this one here again make sure you've got it dead straight you won't get a light down now because you've started to put it into its 3d shape but yeah just let that dry I'm not going to touch it if you use your grid on your mat and lining it up with that one there I can just make sure I'm pretty happy with that everything straight put it over as well make sure they're all pushed together see if I bring it up there you want it really pushed in tight just keep flipping it over as the glue is drying okay then I've got four pieces here that are six and a quarter by four okay then I've started to stick them down so what I'm doing okay with one of the pieces come to one of the sides and just add glue do one side at a time looks like and then stick this down make sure it runs nice and flush with the bottom okay so you don't see any of that gray board so that one's just there for a minute come back to this one which I've done for which has already been done had time to set so you see it's nice and flush there but you're overhang here because I find that again it's easier to trim that at the end but now you just want to stick the other side down so I'm going to put a little bit of glue along the top there and then cover this piece and again it will overhang but you can trim that just that way it means that you know you're guaranteed that you're going to cover your gray board there's nothing worse getting this far and then finding that it's too short and then I always like to get the top of that just kind of work it around there and bring that down you can see a little bit of where it's got a bit wet there but that dries clear so I'm not worried about that but now once we get around and do that one that tiny bit of paper we put in at the beginning will cover that center there so there's nothing worse like I said than just seeing a little bit of that gray board so this one just make sure that's all straight there we go so I'm just going to stick the rest of these down okay so this will now slot in here okay now if you do want to glue it I would suggest you just put a blob of glue right in the middle there and then just go in and stick it in place okay if you do want to stick these bits the ones where you added the hinges when it's in here I would suggest you put a pencil mark just kind of where they sit and then add the glue onto the actual bureau because if you put glue on the sides here and then go to put it in you're going to catch glue up here and on the backs here and it might end up ruining your project but that will now slide in like so then the tray will sit perfectly on top and you'll see it lines up because we measured where to put them okay so you don't see what's inside you know the back pieces until you take the tray off okay and then I've got this piece here which I don't have the camera because it's just sticking just as we've been doing for the whole project but this is a piece of gray board that's three and three quarters by two and five eighths so it's slightly shorter than the height of the tray but do please measure the inside of your tray because mine is bang on three and three quarters yours might be a little bit shy of that might be a little bit more you need to cut that accordingly but that now slides in again you want it to kind of just you know touch the side so it can actually stand on its own okay but with this one here I've got my hot glue on I'm just going to run some glue just and again make sure the glue gun's been on for a good half an hour or so so that glue will take a little bit longer to set but now I can go in just open the tray up a little bit and I'm going to line this up with this piece here it looks like it's off on camera because it's coming down at an angle but if I bring it in there we go you can see it's bang on and then if you do get any glue oozing out you just go in with your bone folder and kind of like push it back you know into the sides there you won't see it and I'm going to put stuff in there but now I'm not worried about gluing it to the sides it's there it divides whatever it is that well the flowers that I'm going to be putting in but that's it done that is the dividers I really like it it's just now it can hold so much stuff it's just got such a lovely look to it again if you haven't seen this being made do click on the links there I'll put some timestamps below in the description because if you do just want to make this part then I will put the timestamp of where you need to fast forward to so you don't see any other tray but also this tray is really handy to just have you know it's maybe some storage on your desk you know you might want a little rubbish bin you can just not have the divider and keep that there you know put all your scraps in and then throw it into the bin or something so it's entirely up to you your configurations and what you want to take from this and how you want it to work but I am very very pleased with this and I hope you've enjoyed it too so thank you for watching please give me a thumbs up if you've enjoyed today's tutorial and consider subscribing so you get to see get to see more fun tutorials see you soon bye
