How to make and arrange a "treasury" for a wedding?

It is customary for the newlyweds to give a gift for the wedding. There is a choice what to present to the bride and groom, and most often it is money. With a large number of guests, the question arises where to put them. The best solution in this situation is a wedding box. And also this little thing will serve not only as the beginning of the family budget, but also will reveal the creative vein of the giver.

Trunks for money can be made in the form of various geometric shapes: square, circle, oval. Can be made in the form of objects: a house, a chest, a suitcase, a heart. The gift is decorated in accordance with the theme of the wedding. The duty in preparing the creation and decoration of the box is a close friend of the bride or one of the relatives. A family piggy bank for collecting money will bring fun and convenience to guests and donors to the celebration. The wedding "treasury" can also be used as a box for preserving envelopes, cards, jewelry and other small gifts.

The slot for notes is located on the lid of the box or on the side. If desired, you can make a box with beautiful material - lace, pieces of fabric, beads, artificial flowers, sparkles, ribbons.

• Treasury like a casket. Boxes of sweets and shoes are used to create the box. Size should take into account the number of guests, a small box will not be able to accommodate all the gifts. Most give monetary units in handmade envelopes, the size of which exceeds the standard postcard. All big things should not stick out outside the box.To make the cut-out of the box neatly on both sides, it is decorated with ribbons or fabric, lace. If the box is small, but really like it, then using thick cardboard, you can increase the height. A rectangle is made of cardboard and glued to the box on the missing side. It looks like pulling a bag onto a box. Various ornaments will help to hide the places of gluing.

• Treasury under the house. This thematic design hints at the desired gift for the newlyweds, personifying the single life of a new family. The piggy bank is a model of the house and it turns out a completely original solution. In the future, it can be used to store toys.

• The treasury is round in shape. From round boxes you can create a real wedding cake. This option is made of several boxes of various diameters, which are placed on top of each other, imitating the appearance of a tiered cake. They are glued, then holes are cut out in the boxes on the bottom and the lid, thereby forming one large casket.

• It looks interesting treasury made up of boxes of various shapes - tall round, small oval or square patterns. In the absence of suitable boxes, they are created independently from a Whatman paper. Details are cut according to the scheme and glued together. In the decor, the use of flowers and ribbons is appropriate, you can also imitate a real cake for the newlyweds.

• Carved box. Making a wooden box at home is easy with the ability to handle wood. Such chests are spacious, reliable, durable in use. A box can imitate a national antique chest, and decoupage will decorate the lid and sides. Another option is to make it in the form of a pirate treasure chest. Such a box is played out by game scenes to collect money.

• Treasury in the form of a chest. The box can be made of Whatman paper and cardboard according to the finished template or from a tall box. If the box is based, then with the help of a compass you need to round the upper corners. So that the lid does not deform and closes tightly, the cardboard should be slightly cut with a clerical knife and folded into the desired shape. For soft cardboard, a wooden stick and ruler will suffice. Furrows should be at the same distance.
