 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this lovely piece of storage. I'm calling it a bureau storage box because it has that sloped front like a bureau. I actually used to have one myself, I just stressed it with any Sloan paint, it was beautiful but I sold it onto a friend when I moved. So this is where the inspirations come from and I'm so pleased with how it's come together. So I've got a beautiful cut glass door knob on here and then you just lift this up and inside you have a fully lined and really lovely sized you know storage box and yeah beautifully finished. It works really really well there's I just yeah I'm just I think I'm surprised because I think it up sometimes in my head and then I'm like oh gosh you and you kind of start doing it and I don't tend to do templates for these kind of things I just go straight into it but it did it worked out well in the end and also what I'm going to do is there'll be a tutorial to follow it rather be tomorrow or the day after where I show you how to make dividers okay so if you want to add these in because I'm going to be putting paper flowers in this so I want to have like yellow ones and blue ones and so on but I've also made a tray that's going to go on top of here with another two dividers there'll be six sections in this but you know you don't have to have this that's why I'm doing the tutorial separately and also you might just want to have these pieces and not the tray or you might just want to have a tray. It depends what your use is for it because although this is going in my craft room you know this could easily go in your bedroom you might want to put you know jewellery bracelets things like that in it you might want to put makeup in it and you might be making it for your son or your daughter for their bedroom for them to store things in and it makes a beautiful gift as well so yeah let's get into this tutorial because it's quite long but it's long because I explain in detail every single step so yeah I hope you enjoy it. Okay so first of all I'm going to start off with the outer casing because that's the biggest part and then I can kind of look at it and decide on what papers I want to use so I've got four pieces of greyboard chipboard and they are should be the two mil yeah two mil again I'll link to the amazon store that I purchased my ones from some of them are a bit different you might see a slight variation in some colors because I am using some scraps but they're all about the same measurement so I've got a piece here for the like I said it's the case it will make sense but I've done this I've numbered it just so I know where I am but I've got this one here which I've done as number one which is for the front so it's that main piece that will slope down that's five and a half by eight and a half then the piece on the top is four by eight and a half the backside is five and seven eighths by eight and a half it's five and seven eighths because this was a piece of scrap and I didn't want to cut into a whole fresh piece so as I'm putting it together this you could may well have this as six you'll just need to change the sides okay so I've got it at that for the minute and if I think that it'd be okay for you to just change that to six and the two sides then you can do mind you though just cutting to that will be fine and then the base there is eight and a half by eight and a half so what I've got first of all is we don't need those two for the minute because I want to attach some paper together so we're going to start with one and two and I'm using these two here from my current favorite pad of papers and this is the 12 by 12 paper posies by Duffcraft brand new and it is a beautiful so I wanted to use my favorite paper in this which is the large roses here on something I always say it but I want something for myself so I get to see it all the time that's what I'm using for this one so I've got two pieces 12 by 12 but it doesn't matter that it's not the whole length of all of that because it's the base underneath I'm going to end up covering that just with some white paper I would also recommend that you use more of a paper for this project it's a lot easier to you know cover grayboard with a paper rather than a cardstock so this here is 150 gsm so I'd say anything below 200 will will work for this but anything higher than that you're going into more of the cardstock and it's a lot harder to work to cover things so what you want to do first of all here is we just want to stick these two together so I'm just looking for my glue so I'm going to use clouds through all of this because it would just add that strength but I'm just going to run some glue covering about half an inch okay so all the way down I thought this busy you know kind of print will work well because you won't really see the join and I'm going to have it so that the join is going to work out being on the back so you won't really see it so do take that into account you may want to put some decorative ribbon over it afterwards or you may end up putting another panel of pattern paper over the whole piece of the back almost like a layer so you've got this as maybe a frame again I'll talk you through that when we get to it so there's lots of ways but there you know you can't see the join on that is certain because it's going to be at the back it's never going to be seen anyway so just think about that when you're choosing your papers okay so that's that piece then I'm going to just flip it over and now you want to grab one and two okay so the five and a half by eight and a half and the four by eight and a half I'm going to stick this one so you've got about half an inch here three or three yeah five eight three quarters you just want enough that's going to be able to wrap around then the next piece is going to come in here and you want to give it a nice enough gap that when you bring this up it's not going to buckle okay it's got room to move so again I always say about one eighth of an inch you know or above will be you know just that nice amount so we can wrap the whole thing and it's not going to cause the paper to split or tear so we're going to stick these ones down then we're going to stick the three so the five and seven eights by eight and a half the same gap but then the last one we're going to stick we're going to trim this and we're going to stick just you know about an inch onto this because like I said it's going to be on the base and we're going to cut separate paper to cover the front as well so I'm going to I'm just thinking because I need to make sure that I cover this all perfectly so I am also thinking I may well bring in thinking I actually what I'm actually going to do is I've got here my double-sided adhesive sheets okay it's the stick to anything brand and I'm actually going to use it for this one and this one the back I'm not worried about I'm just going to use my normal color but because it's on the front I don't want bubbles so I'm going to grab this piece here fill back my backing I think the width of this oh it's just a little bit shy but I'll just put some glue around the edges that's not going to hurt but I am going to just cover that on there and then grab my scissors and just trim the excess so we use that for the next piece and then just make sure that's all stuck down take the backing off you only get one shot with this I mean like I said if you do want to put some glue so you've got a bit of wiggle room and you can just pop a little bit on that bit because the glue's not actually the double-sided tape sorry it's not gone right to the end but I'll just put a little bit just so I have got a little bit of wiggle and then stick this one make sure you've got even you know at the top and the bottom as well but I'm going to come in about there that's it I'm on no going back and just going to stick this on here again cut away the excess I always keep all my scraps of putting back into the plastic so again just stick that up so yeah if you don't have these just use your double-sided tape you just have to cover a large area but you can get your really wide ones you can get a six inch wide double-sided tape so there's lots out there again just going to stick that one down and then this one keep everything nice and straight make sure you've got a nice even gap so before I stick that down I'm just going to flip it over take my bone folder and just go over it just making sure you've got no air bubbles and any of that glue has all spread out and what you want to see is when you bend that you see there's no pressure it's not going to cause that to rip and that's going to be this is that that front sloped piece and that's the top there okay then we want to stick down this one here like I said I'm not going to use I don't want to waste not waste this is something I'm going to keep for a long time but because it's the back if I do have the odd slight air bubble I'm not too worried so I'm just going to bring in I've got another one here that's full up so this one here I'm just going to add my glue over the whole thing and just stick that one next to it except when you just use liquid glue you do have that wiggle room you can see there I can still move that around just make sure you've got the same gap there that you have here okay so while that's still drying this piece here it's going to stick next to this but you want to just give yourself you know because it is going to be the base so I'm just going to snip I'm just cutting this freehand I'll give you the measurement just trim that so I'll keep that but I've just got two and three quarters left there from that end and then that I'm just going to attach just that much of the base because like I said you're not going to see I didn't want to waste all that pattern paper underneath just enough to really secure it and then we will put just some white paper under there inside we're going to put decorative paper so again that will all be hidden as well so I'm going to cover this bit I'm just going to put my glue on here because it's easier to know what area I'm going to be sticking okay and then I'll stick this one down so this is actually the backing of one of my paper pads this is um it's a really good one this one it's really old 100 designer papers and I use this a lot for my um envelopes because again it's great because it's paper and it's just so many different you can see all the colors there in that but the backing on your paper pads some of them are really thick on the back of the um one for it was the national history museum papers by do crafts that's really thick and the back of the artesa watercolor ones as well so again I'm just going to let that settle for a minute it just takes a few minutes to grab fully it's still got a wiggle space I don't want to disrupt that for the minute again just flip it over just go over everything flip it back over again and then you just want to bring up the sides because we're going to be sticking all of these in a minute now I'm probably going to put metal corners on the ends of this one here because it's that front one I just think the metal would look really nice I'm probably not going to put it on the base I might I don't know it's one of those things you can always add them on so with that in mind I always like to bring in my corners now because we're working on a funny angle here you kind of want to just try not angle sorry but we've got obviously a shorter amount here than we have there but just bring it over so that you have you know a nice right angle you want this to be nice and straight and again so if I bring that one over you can see there so this is all straight and then you come down to a nice square you know corner there okay so I'm going to add some glue all in there and just bring that one back over again and just stick it against itself and leave that for a minute and do the same with this corner go in with your bone folder let it start to move up so you know that's how the paper wants to go and it will be coming right around in a minute so just kind of push it as soon as you push that in you'll see this starts to lift and you just want it to kind of wrap itself around the corner of that gray board and it will just give it a really nice finish again this side here and then next I'm going to run glue all along here and on the sides bone folder I know I'm right on the end of the screen there but I can't move it down just put your bone for it along the side so it sticks to the side of the gray ball because you do have that slight depth to it and then just bring the rest of it around and let any of the glue ooze out and that way you know you've got your paper completely covered now that's really nice and finished next you want to go along put glue all along the side in a part there all over this fold it in and do the same with the bottom one here as well once you've stuck one side down start to bring up those pieces and you can start to see now how gorgeous this is going to look I cannot wait also remember as well the direction of your pattern which is why it's good to go for a busy non-directional because when you bring it all around obviously this is the front piece here so you know you can see there it doesn't matter but I've got a nice corner there and that's all coming around nicely oh yeah I'm pleased so far so good so now I'm just going to finish this one okay so now I have that all covered so you can see how great this is going to look it's going to be like that okay make sure I've got it right I did measure it all right yeah no I'm starting to doubt myself then no it's fine okay then we want to cover this section here so I'm using this is the little paper so there's the little card stock this is the little paper so theirs is a three so it is longer but you want as long as you can go so 12 if you can by eight and a quarter okay because this is eight and a half so we're just coming in a little bit and I've gone for this pink I know it kind of clashes a little bit I guess against that red but this is the paper I'm using on the sides and it's perfect it's those three colors it's the pinks and the reds mixed together so it does all work so um yeah that's what I'm going through and I might have I don't know some nice quote or something under there or some more of the pattern paper but you want to stick that one and then I'm just going to piece another piece here because again this is the back so you're not going to see this as such and by the time we put the stuff inside that's not going to be you know that join won't be noticeable but we'll talk through that in a moment so again I'm going to use this is where I'm thinking for the top there do I use double side no I'm going to use my glue it should be absolutely fine because I use it all the time for mats and layers and I don't get any issues so I'm going to cover this whole piece sure you've got a nice even border go around again just spread out that glue again very carefully make sure the glue is kind of you know more dry than it is wet because you don't want to push this through you know your paper because it will be wet but just start to work that fold so the paper can still move use that's that one and then again this one so just lift it and use your ruler or you know something just to work those right folds there but that will really start to stiffen it up you can see now just how nice and finished that's all looking okay so I'm just going to kind of keep that like that for the minute because you want that to just you want it to kind of move into that position but also open as well so just work that until you're happy with it okay I'm really pleased with that so then I'm going to grab another piece and this is eight and a quarter by six and you want it to go over this and kind of meet with that pattern paper that you've stuck down before so if you maybe use that as your guide and then just make sure it lines up obviously with this piece so it just patches it but that is the back so again you know you'll see that all come up this base piece like I said before we're going to cover that with some nice pattern paper so again I'm just going to stick this piece down what I would say what you want to start to do now is you want to keep this in that right angle because this it's always going to stay like that this is the base on the side these aren't going to move it's this piece here which will always lift up because that's your lid so this one here I just lift that up so you can see just work in that corner so the paper is pushed as far in again use something that's quite smooth it's not going to you don't the last thing you want to do is rip through your paper okay I've done it before I've done it on mini albums I've just pushed in too much and it's ripped so but yeah you want to keep that at that right angle because if I pull that apart now it's going to split that and kind of you know pull the paper back out but I want it to be a nice right angle like so okay so that's where you want to be I'm going to rest that there like so and then so now actually I'll bring in these pieces I'm going to pop this to one side I'm just going to move this away okay so while that's all drying a bit more I've got these two pieces here from my side and the very front so this one here we need to trim and people always ask me how I trim my grayboard I have spoken about it a lot and I've shared it in you know other mini album tutorials but I just use my Fiskars Trimmer with old blades and I just put a black mark on all my old blades and they're perfect for cutting grayboard so for the sides you want two pieces that are so this is where yeah this is where I said five and seven eighths of an inch but I don't see why you can't do it at six if you wanted to but that's what mine are five and seven eighths of an inch by because it's not going to affect anything else I don't think it's only that one eighth of an inch it's really not going to cause a problem and that's by eight two pieces then along the long side you want to put a little pencil mark at four inches and then along the short side you want to put a pencil mark at three you're then going to cut that out so I'm just going to line up where I've done that line and just trim and then flip it over just so I can see where the crease is you can rip it but you're better off just going over the other side and just running it over again and that way you get a nice finish okay so you can get rid of that so you'll have two pieces now like that and that's the slope for the lid to sit against and then this piece for the very front is a piece of three by eight okay so first of all I'm going to work and cover the front piece so what you want to do is we're going to stick this check that pen doesn't come through no it doesn't or do that side just in case so stick this one down right in the center of your pattern paper and this is a piece of 10 by five okay you just roughly fold you can see how your pattern is going to look on the front I'm happy with that I think that's beautiful what you want to then do is grab your side pieces so they're like this and you're going to stick just the edge onto here so we want to join these but then we're going to cover these with separate pieces of pattern paper because obviously we're working on a really long area and I don't want the join of the paper to be in the middle of the front so it's best to do this piece separate have the hinges stick to this and then cover this and then you would never know so I'm just going to pop some glue kind of you know the shape of the grayboard there you can see it kind of goes up so just it's all going to be stuck inside anyway I'm going to fill these up in a minute because in fact I'm going to quickly do it now okay so I'm just sticking that over again giving it the same kind of gap that you've given the lid so we just get that nice corner make sure it's all nice and straight and this is a nice way to do it as well if you want to have you might be using you know block colors you might want like a yellow on the side you might want a pink on the front and then you know a different color again on the back so by doing it this way you can actually it's almost you know like piece all your different colors together so I'm just going to stick this one down I'm just going to give that a few minutes just to grab okay and then what you want to do is very carefully you want to cut down to that join but try not don't go right down into it just literally just on the top there okay so that will allow us to fold that one over but you don't want to obviously see any gray board and then you can fold that one there as well you can also put some trim around this so if you have if you're not happy with your corners as I always say put some pom pom trim some lace trims all kinds of nice ribbons you name it and then that one is going to come up there so again I'm going to stick this one down just run my glue all along the kind of sides first and then all around here again just bring up the sides and bring that around so now you should have a really nice front and then we can start decorating the sides all the inside we will do and we're going to attach hinges on the inside to attach this to this piece so if I bring this over now you'll really start to get an idea on how this is all coming together so this is just going to attach itself inside it's slightly smaller than the base it will push itself right to the back let's just check this is all going to work and you see how that drops down that's exactly what I wanted once we decorate the base as well we're going to do all that next actually no we do that no we finish what we're doing let's not get ahead of ourselves Sam and then you will attach this I'm just making sure I've got it yeah now that's going to work lovely so that's how it's going to look at the front it looks like a cottage oh my god I've just had an idea I could put a little like door here windows but look look how it's all good and look oh it's definitely starting to look like a little mini bureau so yeah we'll see what I call it my mini bureau house maybe I don't know right so let's get back to this so next again continuing with my pattern paper here so this is another piece that I cut from there so now what you want to do with this one is it's just going to it's just going to stick on that side directly on there okay we need it to come down a bit because it's going to fold under and it's going to fold around the outside there so I'm just thinking let me just work out so I would say you want this pattern two pieces you'll want of pattern paper that are going to measure let's do nine by what did I say that was it's a nine by eight I'm going to cut that too okay I cut mine slightly wrong but it still fits I'm not going to change this because I'm not wasting any of this paper but yeah you want yours to be nine by six so first of all I would because you want to be able to see well you can do it from this angle actually so you want to add glue all over the side of this and what I'm doing on this side you will repeat exactly on the other one because I will speed through that one so I'm going to bring this one down and I'm going to bring up this edge here and that will all sit in there so now I'm going to flip it over and just whilst you've got that wiggle room just make sure that that sits nice because look you're not going to notice that so that's why yeah really do think about your papers and I always encourage people to watch the tutorial first and then go away and think about everything because I do mention a lot of things as I'm going along you know I don't want to say all this at the beginning like the intro because it's just otherwise it's just ridiculous so now we're almost just going to wrap this a bit like a present so you want to do your corners the same way as before I just think personally for me I just like to do my corners this way I think it's really neat so just make sure they're nice equal right angles there but this piece I think it's easier to just fold that right across because again we're going to cut a piece I'm going to give you all the measurements to perfectly cover that and then that we can just fold down fold that one and fold that one up okay so I'm going to stick all these down okay so there's that side so now if I bring it up just looks so nice even that where I've cut in there it all just it looks just like it's come from a shop it really does it's beautiful I'm so pleased with how this is coming together just take some of my bits of glue there that pick up from my mat I always recommend this one here and it's just the glue eraser and just go over it when the glue is completely dry but just go over and it will just take it off without damaging any of your paper but it has to be dry otherwise it will just rip your paper off so do you know be careful with it but now yeah I'm really pleased with it so I'm going to now crack on and get that side all covered and then I will have all the pieces ready to cover the inside and then that's that piece done okay so now I have that all covered again you can see how it's all going to look looks really really nice next we just need to cover the inside so okay so a little hiccup at my end but it's my own fault I got way too ahead of myself went and done all of this and then realized that you've got no way of connecting it because I'm meant to put hinges on this and totally forgot so wasted this paper but it's fine I know I'm going to buy more of this paper pad so I've cut this piece of scraps although the direction is that way I'm going to have it that way in there again you're not going to see it so what we're going to do is we're going to cover all the inside of here but we're going to have this we're going to have paper overhanging here which we're going to use to connect inside a bit like the little memo pad that I've done so this piece here measures five by like I said it was a bit of scrap it's five by ten you want a nice piece overhanging into each one of these sections okay like so and then we're going to stick this on here but you want it to overhang on the end and on the bottom because you need this to stick to the back of the case and we're going to then line all of that and it will all work out fine so what I'm going to do is we'll do the angle that we need to cut that in a moment I'm going to add glue it's best to add it on to this because you're going to have that overhang so I'm just going to overlap some glue here all along there cover all of this inside yeah I've done it all I was recording went and stuck it went to go you know put it on then I thought um yeah this isn't going to work so now I can just stick that over there so you've got a little bit of a border and it should overlap each side like so at least it's going to be nice and strong it's got so many layers on it like so and then I'm just going to spread that out and you're not going to bend any of this yet until the glue is completely dry because we need this to fold right on the bottom of that so we get a really nice little hinge and then when we line it with paper over the top that will really secure it even more okay so I'm going to leave that one there then I'm going to stick this one over the top so I want it to come down so it's in line with this red piece okay so you're coming down about a quarter of an inch like so all right and then you want it to come up to the fold so if I just bring this around you see where my fold is there that's where we want that to lie so with that in mind I will give you the exact measurement but I'm just going to mark there and mark so it's the top of this pink piece here so on this piece you want to come up on the short side four inches so that's easy and then you want to come along the long side at four and seven eighths of an inch put a little marker there and then I'm just going to join these up with some pencil with some pencil with a pencil line like so I haven't got a bit there but I'll cover that and then with my scissors I usually trim I'm just going to use my scissors so I can't be able to get it out just cut up there okay so you want two pieces that size but then with this one if you put the pattern to pattern like that and then just come along the top there and just trim that okay then you will have the perfect piece to fit here okay you want to make sure the top of that lines up with the top of this pink piece and then this one will come on this side here and again line up there with that okay and then if I flip it over that is all about you want overhanging because that's all going to become a hinge okay also whilst this is just starting to set just bring up the sides there just as we have done before because it is going to stay in this right angle position so just kind of get it used to being in that shape we will um trim all the sections in the moment as well but just spread out that glue as well so it comes around like so okay so all looks nice and neat so again it's better off if you just I'm just going to follow this red piece but just make sure you come down and you can go right up to the edge here and right up to the edge along the bottom there come over this piece come up there okay and then just cover that all in glue okay so that is now what you should have so if you keep it folded like that and kind of follow that fold down there this here you can cut right up because it's going to fold inside but you'll cut it as far up as you can because eventually we're going to fold this under but I want to make sure that's completely dry and then again here I'm just going to follow up to there okay flip it over just pinch down that fold again and just cut right along that one and again cut up that one okay so that's where we need to now be with that piece next we can go on to the actual case and just cover the base okay so now mine is staying in that position which is what you want that's the base but this moves nice and freely all right so this piece here we actually now want to decorate the top and we want to put this piece and this is another piece of scrap which is going to butt right up to the inside there and then it's going to you can see there the overhang I've got so this piece of paper sorry and you're going to see a little bit of this this will be on show you have a tiny little border so this is a piece of 10 by 9 but if you do 10 by 10 no 10 by 9 is fine because you're not overlapping the back bit there you're only doing these three sides so what I would say to do trying to do this you can see is I'm just going to put glue over all of this piece here so just sit that over so you've got even overhang these two sides here I'm just going to leave that there for a minute give me my bone folder there and just spread that all out okay and because you still want to keep this on a right angle it's going to be you know a little bit well I guess just a tiny bit fiddly to just wrap because you don't want to flatten this now you need that to stay like that so you just want to fold that edge over fold that one over and again here okay and then I'm going to attach my corners in the same way so I'm just going to put some glue on that corner and fold it over so I get a nice right angle again just let that do its thing and again the same on this one here you need to kind of just hold this one for a minute until your glues all you know stuck down okay so that's them done and then again just going to try and get the last this glue out for after top it up again there we go just stick down the three sides just as you have with everything else that we've done for this okay okay so once you're happy that that glue is completely dry you want to fold these pieces all in but right up to the side there can you see because that we're going to add glue to that and this is how we're going to attach it I was going to use hot glue but I know not all of you like that way of doing things because you don't always you know you the glue's already dry by the time you've gone to sit it down or it can get a bit messy even for me so I thought we'd do this way again and this is actually a really nice way it gives it a nice finish so just fold everything in it doesn't matter how it looks because we're going to line everything afterwards now all that is going to then allow us to stick this down so you would have already lined the bottom of this which I just showed you and this is going to stick onto the back and onto the bottom and then we will reline the back and reline the bottom there because you want to have that small amount of the color so of the base I mean there you know we see that red so I know you don't see any of that and we're going to put something else over the top of it but you know hey that's just the way I figured it would work so yeah I think we can do this next stage so what I would do first of all is stick these bits together so we can get it into that square shape so if you get any buckling like I've got a little bit here can you see it's just a little bit crinkled if you just take a wedge off of that piece there like so now it will just allow us to stick that over and you want to keep this at a nice right angle that's really key so I'm just going to grab some glue and just cover and make sure it's all under that piece as well just make sure all the layers stick together and then I'm going to bring this one around and just pinch that together and make sure that that is a perfect right angle okay bring it down a little bit that should line perfectly straight this piece here because I didn't cut a wedge off of that so use that as you guide like so okay and then I'm going to go around to this one here I don't know if you get a little bit of like it lifts a little bit of stuff like that because we're going to push this all down so much that it really you know will not matter so and I've just put glue all inside that piece there so again bring this one around and just stick that down and again just make sure that you're happy that it's nice and square okay just pop it back in here just to make sure you know that it's looking nice and straight which it is oh well just want it done now you know when you start to get really excited because you're on like the the winning streak now you know the the finishing lines ahead okay then you want to do the same with these pieces so I'm just going to pop some glue I know at this point you're probably thinking this isn't enough to hold it all in place but it will work and once we line it you know and we're going to run glue all along this as well and this clouds so strong and if you want you could put hot glue you know you could do it on that bottom piece if you want to so yeah and your art glitter glues your cosmic shimmer you know they're all nice strong glues and even your gel medium glues you know and the silicone glues those will all be good glues to use as well so and that will all help strengthen but now you can see I've got that it's nice and neat and it's all squared off and that is going to sit perfectly along here like I said but then we'll cut a piece of cardstock to line the inside of here I'll probably do a plane like a cream or something because I'm thinking I'm going to put little dividers in this um and I think they will stand out well against the um the pattern paper if it's a plane there sorry yeah it will stand out better against the plane one other thing you want to do is when you bring that when we're going to stick this down we want to make sure that we line it up if I come to this side here that it lines up with that pink in my case here this pink I want to bring that up to there see how that's going to stick and you get that real nice finish so you're going to have about one eighth of an inch overhang all the way around okay I know it's only minor but it it makes it look it just finishes it well I think so I think I'm ready to stick this all down so it's kind of you have to do it all in one go so I'm going to fill this up again I think it's about the third time I've done it now for this project but it's become very very strong already my case is incredibly you know um stiff and it's nice and nice and strong so let's just do that one I look like my skin's peeling because I've got so much glue on me right so I'm going to first of all go down all on this but I want to make sure I go along that side of the grayboard as well so you want to cover everything the good thing about this collage you do have that wiggle room like with a lot of your wet glues you know you've just got that little bit more time so I can you know go over all of this and know it's not going to dry straight away and this glue rubs away really nicely as well so you don't see anything and like I said if you do have any glues spilling over just let it dry and then use your glue eraser if you've got one you want to also do the sides this is all going to be stuck at the same time so it's that it's that moment where my mum says she starts to get a sweat on because it's like this is it now it's going to go down I can't you know you've put so much work into getting it all beautifully covered and now this is it right let's go for it let's focus on the base first and get the back in like you know butt it right up to this and then we can kind of wiggle that all around in a minute I'm going to focus on this back now I'm going to bring up this one unfortunately you can't see now but I'm just sticking this so it line lines up with that pink that I was saying about okay so just go down I'm really pleased with that side and start sticking all this down just come around here and just to start tacking that in place and just wiggle the front make sure you've got a nice even overhang there and again just go in really push your fingers up against the hinges there make sure they're right stuck you know you don't want to have any gaps again here I just need to hold that one once it grips it's it's you know it's good to go then it's you know do this in stages you know it don't you know maybe if you just before you stick this down go and have a coffee go and maybe do it the next day um don't you know try sometimes doing it all at once because I think we get get ourselves quite stressed I do I went and stuck all this inside wrong um so I took myself away from it for a minute because I know it's going to look nice but I just need to take a moment breathe now I'm just going in my bone fold again just like we've been doing throughout and just spreading out that glue and just making sure you know you've got no air bubbles really focus up here we're going to line this so it will strengthen it again but you want to make sure try not to put too much pressure you don't want to cause any kind of rips but you do want to make sure and remember if you put calow on the edge of the actual greyboard you want to be pushing that against the back there as well so that that becomes stuck I'm just going to lay mine down like this and then I can go in and put a bit more pressure on that back piece again push everything in push it really really strong because that greyboard can handle that pressure you'll have a bigger overhang on the front as well I just thought that looked quite nice because it matches the overhang of this piece here so I've tried to think of everything but now oh my gosh it looks incredible look at this sort that all out we're lying like I said the insides but that does yeah you want to make sure that that corner is joining which it is and then that overhang will match this overhang here love it okay so it's now the next day I just needed to put it to one side and crack on with some other things so I'm really really pleased with it I think it's come together so nicely you see just how good it's looking I have made a little tear there where I pushed my bone folder against it but it is okay it's you know you're not going to see any of that but yeah I think it's it's just a lovely solid piece and I think once we cover the base and the inside and I'm going to have this beautiful glass it is proper glass one on the front there the only problem is it does come with the screw on the back so ideally I would punch a hole there put that through but I need to cut it and I don't have anything strong enough so I'm just going to put some hot glue for mine for the moment and then eventually I will I'll get around to sorting that out so yeah if you if you've you know got the facility because I've got these here but I just don't have the strength to squeeze that through and I'm impatient and I want to put it on now so but um yeah if you can cut them down because you only want it to be you know to go through the depth of this grayboard and then into this to screw in a little bit um yeah I just don't want all of that because it only screws in I'll show you there it only screws in that far so I'd have all of that just it moving around it just wouldn't look nice so I've got my hot glue gun on but I'm going to pop that on there a bit so what you want to do now is just line the inside so I've got these two pieces here and what I'm going to do is I'm going to be adding dividers into this on the bottom and then a little tray on the top but for that one I'm going to do a separate tutorial because there's going to be a lot of people that just want this they're just happy with a nice big storage box if you do want to have the dividing sections then watch the additional video which I will link into this one once I've done it I will carry on after I've done this because I've got these pieces all here to make the dividing pieces so keep all your grayboard your scraps because I've used a lot of mine to make these dividers because a lot of the pieces are actually that you know height that we needed because of or the width because of or you know previous bits we cut and again keep all of your scrap pattern paper because we use that to cover most of these as well so a lot of it does get used but this piece here is going to go on the back here now I'm going to give you my measurements but what I would say is check yours first because you may have pushed your side pieces in a little bit further than I have you may have come out just that tiny bit more than I have so although you know these will be pretty pretty there pretty much there with the in terms of the measurements it might be a little bit different to yours so this is eight by it's just under five and seven eighths and what you want is when you pop this one in you want it to be the same height see actually I could probably go down a bit I don't want it I want it to be the same height as these tabs here I don't want them sticking out above so yeah I can just take a little bit more off mine actually I thought I'd done that exactly the same height see it's coming up just that little bit too high so I need to take just a little bit off mine but that's going to go in there so it would probably end up being more like what did I say it was yeah it's going to be more towards five and three quarters so I just trim that one down yeah that's perfect so mine's five and three quarters this piece here it's going to go in the bottom okay I'd already trimmed it all down and this is because although this is eight by eight by the time you take into account the width of the grayboard on each side it will end up coming in just ever so slightly so this is seven and seven eighths of an inch by it should be square but again it might be by just over seven and seven eighths of an inch you can see that it's just in between so it's more that sixteenth of an inch where we go in you see there just over it so have a play around okay you might have to pop it in it might start to you know buckle at the one end take it out use your score you know you trim and just take little bits off but then we're going to stick them in it's just going to cover all of that it just looks so nice finished so I'm going to grab my glue and get those stuck down okay so there it is fully lined inside and it just looks gorgeous and I just love the way that this just drops down just to give you a really lovely closure so all I need to do now is pop wow I don't I'm going to do my drawers I just thought I've got a lot of paper flowers and they're all mixed up and I'd like to get them a bit more organized so I'm going to add them in here so I'm just going to stick that one about there and I will probably just lift it up like that this is purely decorative I don't want to put too much strain on it because if that does come off it's going to probably tear the paper but we'll see if it's if it's okay like that then I won't have a need to put it on I do have a heavy one as well because this is real glass you can get some really lovely plastic ones which would obviously be much lighter and you could have some rope on there you might want to do a nice kind of you know fabric handle you could do maybe some nice leather one see what you've got hanging around you know there's lots of ways and I know like when we done the drawers for the storage box lots of you had some really great ideas on you know how you've done alternative handles and stuff so but I just I had a vision of having these lovely using the lovely cut glass ones there so there you have it and I've just realized we need to cover the bottom so I'll do that off camera you don't really don't need to see me cover the base but I would recommend that you have a piece of I think eight by eight eight by eight will be perfect I'm just going to use a piece of cream I think just to cover the bottom or some of you might not want to bother I mean hey who's ever going to see it you can also you know do the corners I'm just thinking whether to do them or not I should have done them before I put that down because I need to hammer them so I won't do it but you could put some nice metal corners there you can do them on these ones as well if you want but I am super super pleased with how this has turned out it is just the same quality as you would find in a shop but the great thing is is that I've been able to choose all of this lovely paper and make something you know suit my needs and what I want it for so tune in for the next tutorial like I said it's going to have dividers here so you're going to have four sections and then it's going to have a drawer on the top or like a tray that you can lift out with two sections in as well so it's going to have six extra sections in it that I can you know fill with paper flowers just so I can see that you know I want to kind of put like my blue ones together and my yellow ones and so on and so forth so yeah there it is so I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial I hope you found it you know straightforward to follow and that you can make this as well I can't wait to see your versions please share them over on our Facebook group mixed up crafters it's a lovely lovely group and although I can't comment on everything there's just too much going on and with my other my own page and doing the tutorials for you but I do go through them and I do look so I love seeing what you've made and you all interact with each other and there's yeah there's a really nice group of you there that do really support each other so um yeah I look forward to seeing your versions of this on there and even if you don't make this but maybe you've made some other projects of mine head over to mix up crafters and you can share anything you've made that's inspired by my tutorials and yeah I look forward to seeing them so thank you for watching and I'll be back again soon with another tutorial oh and the dividers that I'll follow soon see you later bye
