Description Over the course of a month I slowly pieced this together. I made a few mistakes and redid a few things, but overall, it came out looking really nice and the person I made it for was in love with it. This is for personal use only. Enjoy!

I used: Cardboard, White Posterboard (or cardstock), Hot Glue Gun, Blue/Silver/Black Acrylic Paint, Glue Stick, Thin Wire, Cereal Box, Semi-clear Plastic Sheeting, Varnish, Straight Edge Blade, Ruler, My Printer, Scissors, and lots of sweat and tears

I was inspired by "TARDIS Chocolate/Trinket Box"
by ~aria-arissa aria-arissa.deviantart.com/art...

Images of Doctor Who characters were created by ~Hawkstone hawkstone.deviantart.com/art/D... and are available for sale as magnets on Hawkstone's site.

Doctor Who shapes were created by *Girl-on-the-Moon girl-on-the-moon.deviantart.co...


EDIT: I have been pointed out an error made in my haste (so embarrassing):
"~Mordrogyn: Cool but you realize you have too many panels on the sides right?"
-When making yours, you might want to take Mordrogyn's advice.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that the measurements in step one are no longer able to be seen. They are 3½ inches by 6 9/16 inches. Keep in mind, you should double check everything comes together at every step. Mine ended up being slightly rectangular rather than a perfect square.

Yes, I was unhappy with several aspects of my finished model, but I ran out of time. Next time around I'll know how to improve on those things. Thanks for the compliment though.

I think the link is broken or something. I'm not sure where this is supposed to take me, but it takes me in circles.

I was thinking it could be a really awesome jewelry box, but I would make a few changes here and there, maybe make it taller and put in hooks for necklaces on one panel... Let me know how yours turns out!

It's more something to plot on than do, at least for the forseeable future DOn't have the room to spread out. But I'll let you know!

Thank you! My first attempt is a little rough around the edges, but now that I have an idea, I can make a second one even better (but that'll have to wait until I have more time lol).
