Trinket Box - lid leaning against the finished box Here is an upcycled trinket box made with an empty packaging tape roll. The packaging tape roll is very sturdy and makes a great circular shape. You can design this as a trinket box, jewelry box, or a handmade circular box to gift something inside - the possibilities are endless.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

cardboard
packaging tape roll
glue stick
pen
hot glue gun
scissors
felt
thumbtack
Washi tape

Steps:

You will need an empty packaging tape roll. Trace the roll twice on cardboard for the base/lid and cut out with scissors.

Decorate the outside of the tape roll how you wish. I used washi tape and since I like the glossy finish, I kept it on.

Find a pattern of paper you want to be the bottom of your box and lid to be. I used this floral golden scrapbook paper. Using a glue stick glue the cardboard circles down onto the paper.
