Christmas Tree Box with Lid - And 6 Large Ornaments!

Happy Saturday!

2nd week of Christmas in July and my second project done! Christmas Tree Box with Fitted Lid and 6 Ornaments.

I used on 3 Boards! (Yes you heard it right!) 1/8" MDF. Perfect for DIY Paint Kits…or so my neighbor tells me. LOL

Box: 10"L x 7"W x 1.125"H

Ornaments: 9"L x 5.5"W x .125"H

Pretty simple layer construction - added a pin to make lining up easier. Really fast cut and construction. I kinda like when I use less boards…Just kidding - this was a fluke! :wink:

I hope everyone has an amazing Saturday!

Nice adaptation for the higher wood prices! Keep it up! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Very cute! Will the ornaments still all fit in the box if they all have the dots on them? Just wondering about the thickness of them all stacked together.

Oh! Nice! (I was wondering how you made a box that would fit in a Glowforge FOR a Christmas tree…)

You know, I read the title completely wrong and thought this was going to be a box for a 6ft Christmas tree :rofl::rofl:

Thank you! They are cut from side pieces, so the trees themselves are the same width. Without the ornaments they all fit, with ornaments 3 fit.

Victor,

I want you to send this to me. I want to paint it and I will send it back to you. I have something specific in mind that would be great.

Hugs,
Elena
