I needed a nice box for my coloured pencils. 

No stamps at all on this.

First I made 6 boxes 5cm x 5cm x 12cm.

Glued them together to have a sturdy base.

Mine was kraft one side and white the other and naturally I made boxes without thinking and left WHITE side to show. Argh, numpty.

Printed a LV wallpaper x few A4 sheets of gorgeous leather embossed card from Papermill Direct, that was for front, back, sides and bottom. 

Needed brown strips for all edges. 

I thought golden corners etc would be nice and then glued tons of half back pearls around front edges.

Here we go.

3 x A4 sheets of sturdy card for departments (6 boxes)

3 x A4 sheets of white leather embossed card

printer

2 x A4 golden card for buckles and corners

3mm flat back pearls 

4mm flat back pearls
