( 13 ) Cut out the velvet adhesive.
( 14 ) Then, stick the velvet adhesive under the box by removing the bubbles.
( 15 ) If you wish to decorate the inside of the box, you can cover it by transferring its dimensions to the adhesive of your choice. For my part, I used the velvet adhesive again.
( 16 ) All you have to do is fill the box with what you want, beads or jewellery!
