Scatola-valigia - Suitcase box

Volevo fare una scatola originale e divertente per metterci dentro una creazione che mi hanno commissionato. L'idea mi è venuta vedendo le scatole a forma di valigia che sono sopra la scrivania. Le ho comprate l'anno scorso in un grande magazzino per pochi euro, e quando le ho viste sono stata felicissima perché desideravo da tempo delle scatole simili. Anzi, mi sono pentita di non averne prese altre!
Hanno due angoli arrotondati, ma per non complicarmi troppo la vita per stavolta ho deciso di fare una scatola solo con angoli retti. Alla fine ho rinunciato anche a mettere delle fibbie di metallo e ho trovato una soluzione semplice, ma carina lo stesso, come vedrete tra poco.

I was asked to make a craft and I decided to create a nice and original box for it. When I saw some of the boxes over my desk I decided to make a suitcase box.



Tornando alle scatole che ho comprato, qui dentro ho una piccolissima parte del mio materiale scrap. Ecco, nella scatola celeste vedete i fiori di feltro che ho creato alcune settimane fa. Quelli che mi sono rimasi.

In these boxes I keep some of my scrapbooking stuff. In the light blue box there are the felt flowers I made a few weeks ago.


Ecco la scatola-valigia che ho creato!

Here's the suitcase box I made!


Per la maniglia ho usato la gomma crepla marrone che ho da un secolo e che pensavo non mi sarebbe mai servita!

To make the handle I used a brown foam sheet I bought longtime ago and I didn't know what to use it for.
