DIY Embellishment Boxes

I'm working on expanding my embellishments but I need ORGANIZATION/storage.

I have 24 of these boxes, I've had them a long time (forgot I had them)

but I need more and they have been discontinued and I couldn't find them anywhere (ebay, etc.)

OH MY!!! What is a crafter to do??

SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAKE YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!

DUH! why didn't I think of this YEARS AGO????

I've lost count of how many embellishment containers I've purchased and it didn't work out for one reason or another...aaarrrggghhh!!!!!!! Wasted $$$$$$$$....never again.... 

I made my own!!

 Now, I'll always have an embellishment container!!!

WHOOPIE!! HURRAY!!!!  

I went to the silhouette store and looked at the 3d boxes and decided on #38007.

The original was too big so I shrunk it down.

PERFECT!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!

I deleted all the side panels and your left with 3 pieces (lid and 2 box panels)

I shrunk the size of the lid to 3.25"w x 3.45"h. Then the first box shrunk to 2.19"w x 2.84"h then the 2nd box shrunk to 2.19"w x 2.83"h.  As you can see in the photo above they are almost the same.

When its all put together  height: 1 11/16" 

                                      width: 1 3/8"

                                       depth: 5/8"

SUPER COOL HUH?????

Whats nice about making your own? I can adjust the box size as needed for my embellishments and I can always make more. I was able to get 3 boxes out of one 8.5 x 11 piece of cardstock. CHA CHING!!! LOTS OF $$ SAVED for other crafts!! HA HA HA HA

WAIT! till you see my embellishments in the boxes in my drawer!!!!

SO BEAUTIFULLY ORGANIZED!! LOVE IT!!!!

Yes, I also have a cricut but I didn't feel like searching all the cartridges/handbooks for the proper box.

I'm sure theres a cricut cartridge that has one somewhere.
