Synopsis
Fond memories are unique and personal. Why trust them to anything but a memory box that has been carefully and lovingly crafted by hand?
If you've ever filled a cigar box with marbles or a shoe box with family photos, you will want to pick up Making Memory Boxes. This quirky and beautiful book teaches collectors and crafters how to build their own personal boxes to store favored keepsakes free of intimidation and ready to be transported from the workshop table to the kitchen table. Make thirteen precious boxes for holding cherished postcards, letters, jewelry, photos, and more. Making Memory Boxes features tips and tricks to ensure accurate measuring, cutting, and gluing.

Reviews
It is a fact of life that most of us practice the art of pack ratting, hoarding and saving ticket stubs, love letters, postcards, and other memorabilia. Now, artist-curator Mauriello^B guides us in collecting treasures in one place by crafting aesthetically pleasing containers, or memory boxes. Each of the 13 boxes is targeted to contain one type of collectible--buttons, fabric scraps, or a child's treasures, for instance. Tips abound, as does information about getting started, from critical-to-own materials and tools to the appropriate ways to paste paper or cloth to a board. (The trick, by the way, is to apply adhesive to the paper, not to the surface. Cloth, on the other hand, doesn't matter.) The project boxes, colorful and well designed, feature detailed illustrated instructions and occasional suggestions for a different look. A practical craft that just might lead to a new kind of collecting habit. Barbara Jacobs
