Last weeks "Weekly Inkling" at Splitcoaststampers is the "Matchbox dresser" and I loved the idea. With a birthday coming up and jewellery as the gift I figured it would be a really nice way to present the gift then a the normal gift box or bag.
If you are interested the link to see the original tutorial is here:

You are meant to use match box's but if you do not have the match box's then there is a tutorial in the one above giving you the measurements and instructions to make your own box's. I did not have the match box's so I used the tutorial to make my own box's.
Square box four sides with 6 draws on each side totaling 24 draws. I also could not find the metal Tim Holtz handles and used wooden pushpins instead. I bought a necklace and matching ear rings as the gift and had the velvet bags hanging out of the draws with a note saying "Open me"
The other side also with a bag hanging out the one draw saying "Open me"
