The box i covered with cardstock and random painted with white. Distressed with Vintage photo around the edges.

Made this template from the old brush so it will fit and cut a bit on the outside
Used medium weight chipboard
The sides are cut 3 x 2 and the handle 1 x 4 ( glued 2 chipboard together for the handle)

Glued together with hinges. Cut 1 inch strips and score at 1/2.

 Toolbox tutorial

Made a template with score pall. Easy and fast :-)

Cut the same measurement for the bottom x 2 to make it study.

Used Tim Holtz 3 inch circle die tu cut out the holes in my E bosser that is wide enough.

Yes I know! Should not cut into this plate lol but I just turn it around for other cuts :-)

I used 1,9 mm thick chipboard but you can also glue 2 together.

Cut 1 inch strips and score at 1/2. Glue on.

Measurements for the side

Measurements for the handle. Cut out 2 and glue them together.

Used Tyvek envelopes and cut them in 1 1/2 inch strips . Xyron is great for the glue on this envelopes and sticks very well. Glue on front and back on all sides.

The front sides are cut 12 1/8 x 4

Glue on the top 1/2 inch from the side top.

Cut out 3/4 inch strips and scratched them on the sides and on the chipboard.

Glued on with glossy accent and glue gun to make it look like wood.
