That isn't the easiest thing to do! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That isn't the easiest thing to do! Thank you !! It is if you cheat like I do . This method is just faster and easier to me , I made a mess out of box stitching one or two so had to come up with something . Saddle stitch the ledger to the side while flat , then stitch up the ends . Bottom is just a tight friction fit . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tugadude Report post Posted October 31, 2022 Not a bad way to go. I'm sure it will stay in place nicely if it is tight enough. it isn't like it will get a lot of hard use. Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will stay and if someone was worried they could use a little glue , but as you say it is not going to see any hard use . 2 1/2 " high and 4 " diameter ( mostly for jewelry , keys , potpourri, some ladies use it for face powder .

doubleh Report post Posted October 31, 2022 Nice box although I am not too keen on aged finishes on new things but If that is a person's cup tea that's fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezzer Report post Posted October 31, 2022 @chuck123wapati That's great !! I can't wait to see those hides if ya keep them and turn them to stuff @doubleh Thank you ! I can see your point when folks do it to try and pass new stuff off as old , other than that I like the look of old . I have to look at it every morning in the mirror Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart Report post Posted October 31, 2022 bottom looks great. Tight stiching. Jewery box my thinking. lined with velvet. keep it up you got a thing going on. Dye is hard-painting is easy. Stay with the hard way and develope it going to have to use a perment pen for my butterfly legs and antini. Try religious symboles so peope could store inherated items in. Just my thinking. Please no sir. I am just an old Lutz x grover worker and a little bit of a Highway Man want to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The color crown is going to remain yours as I don't see myself doing much of this . I haven't the patience !!!!! I have a few different religious things I do , crosses , dove of peace , and am trying to figure the best way to do the Hand of God . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart Report post Posted November 2, 2022 Well, Relooking at the box top, if they were dyed-painted-colored- it wouold take away the total look. It would ruin it. Natural look, now thats a concept about lost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
