My wife loves little trinket boxes and I wanted a way to make one that would keep the lid attached. I designed a super simple hinge mechanism that keeps it all together. I thought some of you might get some use out of the idea. I think I will add some flocking to the inside of this one and a coat or two of poly on the outside to finish it off. I pushed small wire brads through the hinge mechanism and cut/smooshed them to stay in place. It might look better with some brass ones. I may change the design to have a small tray that raises up when the box is opened (like some toolboxes or tackle boxes) if I get some more time.
Happy Valentines day, sweetie!
