MATERIAL:

-a big walnut;

-scrap thin cotton fabric;

-piece of satin ribbon.

TOOLS:

-pliers;

-scissors;

-brush;

-wood glue;

-knife;

-rotary tool (or drill with small drill bit).

Cut the walnut in half with the jewelry saw.

Clean the inside of the walnut with a knife or something.

Cut a round piece of thin cotton fabric, brush it full of wood glue.

Place the fabric in the walnut and press it really well.

Cut out the excess fabric.

Make four holes on the back and two in the front, like in the photos.

Make a spring with the copper wire, with both the edge long (as in the photo).

You should use the measurement of your holes to make the hinge right for you walnut box.

Place another piece of copper inside of the spring, than fold both the edges at 90° (see photos).

Bent all the edges of the hinge at 90° again (see photos).

Place the hinge on one side, clip close the copper wire in the inside of the walnut.

Place and close the other side too.

Make sure it open and close well.

NOTE: thinking back, I will suggest to place the hinge before you place the fabric!

Now you just need to place a ribbon to close it.

I used a silk satin ribbon.

Make a knot on one end of the ribbon and insert in the front hole, do it to the other hole too.

Close it with a bow.

NOTE: thinking back, I will suggest to place the hinge before you place the fabric!

Fill it up with jewelry and close it!
