Building+A+Jewlery+Box

About two years ago my grandpa and I built the BEST! jewelry box ever for my mom. First, we took four pieces of wood and cut them into equal pieces then we nailed them together. Then, added a bottom to the four pieces of wood, that were nailed together so it was like a wood box, it was pretty wicked.

Next, we smoothed the edges so it was like silk. Then cut holes in the box for the drawers which (were very smooth cuts). We smoothed out the drawers and added red velvet to them, and put them in. I thought the red velvet was as smooth as a baby’s skin, personally. Next, we added simple knobs on the drawers. Then, we measured a square piece of wood, so it would fit and we nailed that in. Then, we glued red velvet in which it got a little messy around then, because of the glue so I was just happy we took a long break at Burger King but, we were hungry anyway well my grandpa sure was.

Then we added hinges and made a round top, so it has three compartments. Then we got some lace from my grandma, and pinned it in the top and opening so it would stay open while my mom used it. My grandma was very very jealous of my mom for having some one like me but, I didn’t think of it that way, I was just being good person. Then, we took a blow torch and lightly burned it so it was brownish gold, and when we gave it to my mom she was surprised, but my dad was psycho about it. He liked it more than my mom did I think, (he acted like he was getting a raise and a promotion) but he was really happy because it was the first thing I built with little help from anyone. But I knew I was more excited than he was because it was the first thing I worked my best on (other than soccer).

So my dad MADE! my mom bring the jewelry box to Fourth of July party, because we had to anyway. When we got back my dad was the first to put stuff in it and, I just noticed my moms was better, so I gave it to my dad but my mom still used for one thing though I thought it was nice not ugly but that’s my opinion its her box so she or my dad can do WHATEVER! they want with it I don’t! Care because its not my jewelry box. Then the day after that I was pretty mad because my MOM put only a rubber band bracelet in it which came from her job.
