Hi everyone. I am so happy to be a DT member of kreativscrapping. This is so exiting and will be so much fun :-)
There is a challenge every month on they`r blog and here is the link, http://kreativ-scrapping.blogspot.no/
Wish you all a wonderful day and have fun creating :-)
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

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
