The history of jewelry goes back many thousands of years.Bone, stone, tree bark, gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, ribbons, polymer clay, beads and many other things have served and serve to create a certain image and style for men and, of course, for women. And when the number of rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings and bracelets of beauties and fashionistas began to multiply and grow almost two thousand years ago, the question arose - where to store all this so that it lay in order and at the same time, was always at hand. This is how the box was born from the hands of the masters of the East. The first boxes were wooden. The masters decorated them with intricate carving, trying to surpass each other in beauty and originality. In the modern world, boxes are created from wood, plastic and metal. Now, as in the old days, handicrafts are valued. You can create an exclusive and original box with your own hands using beads. They braid ready-made containers of a suitable size or create boxes entirely from beads. This article will present several master classes on creating original boxes in which you can store jewelry and various little things needed by needlewomen, and such a box, like any thing created with your own hands, will be an excellent gift. The first master class is dedicated to a very positive sunny yellow box made of beads.Required:

Orange and lemon transparent and orange and yellow opaque beads 10/0;
Yellow and pearl beads 8/0;
Wireworm of two colors;
PVA glue;
Acrylic paint (mother of pearl);
Colored paper;
Cardboard;
Broad base from under the tape of tape;
Plastic circle 5 mm wide;
Flat button with 2 holes.

A cardboard cylinder that used to beScotch tape is wound around it, it will serve as the walls of the future box. Two circles need to be cut out of cardboard, using the cylinder as a stencil. These will be the bottom and the lid of the box. A plastic circle (you can take a regular bracelet) will act as a limiter so that the lid holds well.Cover all parts with a layer of PVA glue and letdry. Cut out 2 circles from colored paper for the inside of the bottom and lid. Cut out a rectangle for the inside of the box walls. Glue the parts together. Paint the outside of all the box parts with acrylic paint, paint the bracelet and glue it to the inside of the lid. Box sides. Weave a net using transparent orange beads according to the pattern so that it tightly embraces the workpiece. Decorate the mesh cells with beads, as follows:shown in the picture. Do not use the lower cells. To decorate them, you need to string 2 small beads, 1 large and again 2 small ones. Fasten the fishing line in the middle beads of the last row of the bottom cells. Second circle. String 3 beads, pass the fishing line through the large bead of the previous row and string 3 beads again. So to the end. The lid of the box.A mesh is also used for its decoration. It is necessary to bend partly inwards and partly outwards. This mesh will have 33 teeth on one side of the mesh. It is necessary to make exactly this number, otherwise the mesh will bend when tightened.On one side, between the mesh teeth, you need to weave 3 beads. Pass the needle to the other end of the mesh. You need to tighten the fishing line tightly so that the edges of the mesh converge to the bracelet-fixer. Between the teeth of the second edge of the mesh, weave in1 bead of a larger size. Tighten the line. In the next circle, string 3 small beads between these large beads. In the next circle, 1 large bead. The fishing line comes out of a large bead.String 7 small, 1 large and again 7 small beads. Count 2 large beads of the previous circle and pass the fishing line through the third, so to the end of the circle. In total, there are 11 such loops.In the next circle between two large beadsstring 3 small ones. Tighten the line. In each subsequent circle, string fewer beads, tightening the weaving to the center until a hole of 3 - 4 mm in diameter remains. Fasten the line and cut off. Thread 10 pieces of wire 30 cm long through a small button.Then thread the free ends of the wire throughthe central hole of the beaded mesh on the lid. Twist them into spirals using a rod from a regular ballpoint pen or any other stick. Put beads on the ends of the wire springs and secure the ends of the wires with loops. Straighten the spirals along the perimeter and the box is ready.The following box is made using French weaving techniques (or arc techniques), needle and openwork. Beaded box "Flower".You will need:

Decoration silver and red;
Beads of white color;
Large beads of cherry color;
Wire;
The line;
Metal mesh round shape;
Transparent glue;
Wooden or plastic round casket with a lid;
Scissors or nippers.

Flower.You will need 6 large and 6 small petals for this. Large petal. Make a small loop at one end of the wire. String 8 beads, make a large loop out of the wire, securing it and the beads with a few turns. This is the axis. String 10 beads onto the free end of the wire and wrap the wire around the axis so that the string of 10 beads fits snugly against the string of 8, string 10 beads again and make a turn of wire at the bottom of the axis. Make 3 arcs on each side of the axis, increasing the number of beads each time. Make the last pair of arcs out of silver beads. Straighten the loop at the top of the axis and hide the tail in the last arc.For a small color, make the initial axis from 6 cuts. Otherwise, the weaving principle is the same. There will just be fewer beads in each arc.The core of the flower.The base must be made of metal meshweave the following compositions. String 4 white beads, 1 red bead and three more white beads onto the fishing line, then pass the other end of the fishing line through the red bead and 4 white beads. Glue the large petals to the outside of the lid, then the small ones in a checkerboard pattern and then the core. Using openwork weaving, form the sides of the box from beads and chopped wood. Sew the edges and put them on the box. Weave the top and bottom edges with white beads.Weave a red bead into each cell formed by white beads.The box is ready. The next box is made of bright multi-colored beads using the "flowers" technique.You will need:

Plastic box 7.5 cm in height, with a lid and 5.5 cm in diameter;
Beads 11/0 are orange, green, purple, pink, red, white and yellow.
The line;
Transparent glue.

According to the diagrams, weave a ribbon of length equal to the circumference of the box (it should fit tightly) and the height of the box without the lid (in this case, 5 cm). Sew the ribbon and put it on the box. Weave the bottom and the lid according to the pattern. Once you have completed your work, you can glue the beaded fabric to the sides, bottom and lid.
