4. From the beer cardboard we form a box, abundantly lubricating the edges with glue.

6. To decorate the box, we cut and sew details from paper. And then we will glue all sides.
7. Then we will make the basis for a cover made of white cardboard. The lid is quite large, so you can buy large sheets of cardboard or glue from several parts.
8. We extrude the cardboard (we force the folds) - the lid should wrap the box tight enough, but do not over tighten.
9. Now we paste the sintepon on the lid and cover it with fabric and sew it.

12. We supplement paper decorations with broads, ribbons and stickers. The button is sewn in such a way that the rubber band holds the lid, but does not tighten too much.
13. For the inside of the lid, cut out and stitch the paper part and the detail from the transparent plastic.
14. Now we will make a card for photos from kraft paper and scrapbooking paper.

16. We cut off the excess, we scour the places of folds and erase the markings.
17. We glue boxes (for reliability you can fasten the boxes with clamps).
18. The sides of the boxes are pasted with paper (paper elements should be 1 cm smaller than the sides).
