A Drawer-ful of surprise....

Me was testing something out recently... Wanted to make a drawer box since I have never attempted one before... the mechanics of it would be similar to an ordinary box except for which sides are being folded up... My initial plan was to make a pink drawer in a gray casing however as I was confidently measuring and cutting the template of the gray casing, I realised out of familiarity, I made an ordinary box with a upward opening instead of a side opening... Hmmm.... oh well... I just have to make do since that was my only piece of gray paper... So now my idea has reverse... gray drawer in pink casing... ;)

This time I used a corrugated plastic board to wall the box so that I got a nice and thick finishing.... Finally managed to get the template right for a side opening box... Was so worried they might not fit nicely as a casing and drawer piece but lo behold!! It was quite successful... :) With a small excess gap... shall correct that the next time I make another...

Finished it up with some cute buttons... stuck 2 together for a better grip and nicer colour combi...
It's a great way to store photos or other memorabilia which you want to excess at anytime... Plus stacking would still be okay since it opens to the side... :)
