TOOLS
Draw circle of 4" radius, cut out 1-1/2" from top and 4" from the bottom as shown, ready two pieces (or you can draw a template to trace, as you will need this for cutting papers later)
Cut two pieces chipboard 4"x2" for the base of the hat box
Cut 4 strips of 2"x12" and make it curve to fit the hat
Form them into shapes using connecting strips
Trace the shape on papers with extra half inch edges, cut and cover the outside
Trace the shape and cover the insides, beware of the directions of the pattern
Cut strips of 2-1/2" papers and cover the rest of the inside, fold the extra half inch to outside and adhere
Cut strips of 2" papers and cover the outside edges, be careful of the patterns if you choose strips
Install the hinges by the 4" base
Install the lock by the 2" top
Cut 7-1/4"x2" chipboard, cover with paper, glue inside the box as compartment
Cut chipboard 1pc 2" radius circle and strips of 1-1/2" width (I used scraps here, so two pieces)
Form it into shape using connecting strips
Cover the top with a layer of cotton (optional) and then 3" radius circle paper, fold and adhere the half inch edges as shown
Cover the sides with paper of 2" width, left half inch for adhere onto the box as shown
Adhere the part onto the box
For the handle, cut paper 1-1/2"x12", score and fold 3/8" each side and adhere
Cut the lace pattern from paper and adhere on the handle strips
Fold two times on each end by 1"
Cover the folded part with ribbons
Adhere the handle in the middle of the hat top, then done, you can start decoration with your hat box
For the mini album, draw a circle of 3-3/4" radius and cut out the lower part from 4-1/2", as shown. Cover with papers and punch 3 holes for rings, the rest is just insert more pages and decorate
