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.
