Picture Box

This is a bit fiddly as there is a lot of cutting out but it looks great and people seem to like it. It involves making a series of boxes of decreasing sizes with a square base and oblong sides. You only need to make the lid for the largest box. Adapt your box size to fit the pictures you intend to use, but don't start too small or it will be very hard to find pictures to fit the smallest box. I used thin card for the box with glue dots and double sided tape to stick one box inside another and to stick on the pictures and embellishments. Don't make the lid too deep because it will obscure decoration on the outside panels of the box, but it needs to be deep enough to hold the box sides in the closed position.
