INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the top of your shoe box leaving just to lip of the box we will glue the lip of the box to the actual box this will help to make the box stronger I used couture creations clear tacky glue as this will allow me to move the lip until I have it in the right place 2. Positions the lip around the box and glue it down I used bulldog clips to hold it in place while it dried 3. Next, I used the rest of the box to create the sections on the box 10cmx29.5cm piece of the box for the centre section and I used 3.5 x3.5 cm section for the dividers in the box. You could make as many dividers as you require for your box. 4. Create some tabs to go onto your dividers I use a 2cmx1cm tab and attached them to the dividers and then glued them to the box with some couture creations all purpose glue 5. I waited for a while to let some of the glue dry, I then used old book pages to cover my box inside and out, using gel medium to give it strength and durability. To do the corners of the box both inside and out I used square bits of paper and folded them into 4 I ripped along on of the 4 squares and folded the ripped edge to the one beside it creating a right angle to place in the corners of my box when I did this for the outer edges I placed the square over the corner of the box so that it faced inward so I had a square towards the inside I split this inside square up the centre on the diagonal and glued the edges down on the inside of the box this help to make the corners strong and gives it a nice finish allow your box to dry properly I left mine for at least 4hrs.
