So I made this for my son, from the GF freebie files (I think?)…but the one thing missing was a knob/pull mechanism to open it.
I have 3 boys, & am ALWAYS in a hurry…so I had to come up with something super quick before school in the morning.
Went in my drawer, found a picture hanger…then looked in my scrap pile, grabbed the first square piece I saw, and it was the EXACT SIZE/dimensions to cover the brass!

(And his friends think it’s pretty cool #doublewin)
It looks nice, but I for one, have no idea what it is. Pencil box?
Yes! I added another photo to demonstrate.
Great idea!
Oh nice! That’s the one from the catalog. My husband needed a quick gift for a bunch of clients the night before a meeting and he had me cut a bunch of those.
Looked a little different for a sec because I notice you didn’t glue the semi-circles into the score lines for the insides. It is probably a lot easier to open and close that way though. With the semi-circles in place, it’s a bit tight. We had to tie string through the holes in order to get them to open after closing them because it was so hard to pull apart again.
Cool, a can’t beat the double win!
Yes, it was almost impossible to open! I also rubbed a little Aquafor into the joints and it made it SO much better! I’m sure there’s some fancy wood wax product one can use, but I just used what I had on-hand! 
Would love to see yours. I haven’t even done a full search, but I see someone posted an awesome Naruto one with a slide cover (different design)
I KNEW there was a reason I save all my scraps!
This is gorgeous, nice job 
You’ll find you take more time organizing your scraps than your full sheets. It’s weird, having a limited piece of material gets my ideas going more than a full sheet does. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
This is so cool, I would have given my eye teeth for one as a kid!
genious
I always forget about this one. Yours looks great!
Love it when those scraps get used up!
Very nice… plus personalized!
