They would have been approx 14” long, 12” high (plus the handles) and 6” wide. I think they were stitched together on each corner with plastic cord. I’d really love a pattern or some direction on how to make them.

My grandmother had one of these baskets she called it her sewing basket. I have it in my possession I just wanted to reproduce it. I just wonder if it would be easier to spray the panels with a pen acrylic spray before you put them together and do away with the acetate.

I have been using old X-rays for making stencils on the scan and cut and after a workshop I had to soak the paint off.......didn't realize that the print comes off.....but I wouldn't say it was perfectly clear like acetate.

They are bigger than the hanky boxes so I'm just wondering if you would have any idea where to get the plastic from. A friend of mine found one that her Aunt had made many years ago. Below is what she related to me -<br />The plastic is cleaned off X-ray film but I guess you could use any hard plastic. Pictures used for outside view & seems like wallpaper inside the inside plastic. Between these are a number if sheets of thin cardboard. The stitching is like a blanket stitch around each piece first & then joined together through the first set of stitches. Some sort of stretchy plastic string.<br /><br />It's make up is very similar to your hanky boxes<br />GlynysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625660858878012124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761318644025894560.post-67057737558273264962015-11-09T16:53:12.980-08:002015-11-09T16:53:12.980-08:00You peaked my interest....the basic elements of th...You peaked my interest....the basic elements of these items is that the holes match - same number on both panels where they meet - otherwise you are only limited by your imagination - there are so many gorgeous new papers out in scrapbooking land - have a go at drawing something up - or email me and we will chat. <br />TiramiSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741317912469384787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761318644025894560.post-2701692631206820912015-10-30T22:42:40.458-07:002015-10-30T22:42:40.458-07:00Dear Sue, I love these boxes too.

There is a face book page by a lady who sells them called 'Vintage Busy Bee'. I just don't think I can ask her for the pattern when she sells them. I'm putting feelers out everywhere to see if anyone can help me. I thought you might have some idea.<br />Glynys:) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625660858878012124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761318644025894560.post-4631215784649293732015-03-14T06:26:21.650-07:002015-03-14T06:26:21.650-07:00Great tutorial.

...Great tutorial. I just made mine like that here:<br /><br />http://katthecraft.blogspot.com/2015/03/how-to-make-your-own-vintage-trinket-box.html<br /><br />I hope I got to see your blog first, lol, because I really like the idea of using plastic, it gives a really nice finish and it makes the box sturdier. I would also try that suggestion from the comment above having them laminated, I'm just not sure if bends easily. Anyway, I'll try this on my next works.<br /><br />Also I've seen similar boxes like this as I search online, and they use greeting cards. Cool right. Anyway, thank you for this.<br /><br />kjrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944255867705346016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761318644025894560.post-82253606842920493622015-02-11T02:19:59.981-08:002015-02-11T02:19:59.981-08:00Thank you so very much!!

My Nan made these when I was a little girl and now I'm a Nan and have a bit more time on my hands I wanted to have a go at it. I actually pulled one of my old ones apart to trace the pattern but it's a bit wonky and I couldn't get it lined up properly, :( frustrated.

Other people have also mentioned using a laminator for the process and I have got to say that I am all for any speedy methods of crafting. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks again.

We can't crochet :( so had to blanket stitch and with the laminated edge it ended up sort of a picot edge. Not as pro as yours but cute enough and a cheats way for we craft noobs.

My Grandma and I made boxes from greeting cards and it was tons of work but very rewarding as we donated them to the "senior" homes and hospitals. We used Get Well cards for the hospital versions. Have you tried laminating your papers first and therefore eliminating the need for the plastic cover sheets?
