Tim Holtz carousel storage tower

Had so much fun with and make this carousel :-)

  Tried and make it a bit masculine, steampunk feel.

  It is made of multiple layers of chipboard glued together. then used black paper on all surfaces with Claudine Hellmuth multi matte. To decorate the tower i have tried to use most of Tim Holtz products.

  It took me over a month and make it but have had a lot of fun :-)

  Some challenges along the way, but mostly be solved.  The carousel spins and have used the base to the old tv spinner to  get it spin / rotation around

the large chipboard I bought here in Norway, but if you can not find it where you live, you can paste multiple layers together by and offset layers until you get the length you need.

On this side i made a glass door and i used the mini lantern from Tim Holtz

Papers i used in this storage are from different TH paper pads

Tim Holtz carousel storage tower tutorial and measurements

Took pictures while I made the box and will try and explain a bit how it is put together. If you fancy and make your own storage box so you might get some ideas here.

Sorry I can not explain other measurements than this if you want to make it an other size

. Experiment and have fun :-)

Here is how it started.

Cut 1 x3 inch strip s from chipboard and lue them down as showed in the picture

Cut 3 1/4x  for the shelfs and 18 x 3 1/4 for the sides

Cut out a bit of a circle with a die. Masking tape is great so they all be the same

Take some glue between the 1 inch strips

Back side of ink pad side 18 x 13 1/4

Used papper hinges for ensure the seams. Use much glue in the middle of the hinge. Then it will be strong

Top measurement 3 1/4 x 13 1/4

Now it chould look like this :-)

t

Cut of the rest if it does not fit exact

Measurement for the drawers

Under 

Cut  15 x 15 5/8 and 3 inch for the sides

Also 3 inch inside and on the sides about 1 1/2 inch from the sides to make it stronger so it can hold the top part. Glue down with hinges 

Glue the hinges well

Top shelf cut 12 x 12 and 1 1/4 for the sides

Glass door 18 x 9 x 2 and put acetate or glass inside. If you use glass you have to build the inside up with 1/2 inch strips

and thin cut out i inch around

The measurement is 18 x 15 1/4

Then i cut out 3 inch strips for the insides and shelfs

Outside left and right is cut at 3 1/8

Made slider doors and cut them at 3 x 5 1/2
and then made glide track of 1/4 inch strips on both sides top and bottom

Used TH tissue paper and glued it down with multi matte for the shutter curtain

Then stamped, embossed and went over with metallic stains

Then cut it in 1 inch strips. Binded it with small rings 

The measurements may be slightly different from the thickness of the chipboard you are using
and how many layers you use

have some problems to express myself in writing but
hope this is a bit helpful and that the explaining is not to hard to understand.
