Crochet workshop for tea or coffee boxes

This box is crocheted based on old CDs. It can be used for any little thing: jewelry, threads, etc. I use it to store tea and coffee bags. The box is a wonderful decoration for the kitchen interior, and the work itself will bring you pleasure.

1. We start with the selection of threads. You can choose a plain yarn and then decorate it with pebbles, beads, etc. I chose a yarn with a color transition (gradient) in order to make my box look more like a basket.
2. To decorate the lid, I picked up a large flower. These flowers and other decorations can be purchased at any craft store. In order to make the bottom of the box and the lid, we need two old CDs.
3. How do we start work? I usually start with the lid. We take the disc, thread it through the hole (forming a loop) and tie a knot.

4. Next we need a hook. We will thread the loop through the middle of the disc, grab it with a crochet hook and knit a regular chain.
5. It is not difficult to do this, the work is going fast enough. Once again, we pick up the loop with our finger, pull the thread, hook it with a hook and knit a chain. As you can see, due to the fact that our yarn is not monochromatic, the lid acquires an uneven striped pattern, which looks very original.
6. When we have completely knitted the circle, we begin to knit a small side.
7. For the cap, you can not knit the side. But I like it better when there is a side. It can be made higher, lower, you can make it 2 centimeters high and then tuck it up as you like. I knit a side in 2 rows with crochet loops.
8. Now we just bend it. The lid is almost ready.
9. We begin to knit the bottom in the same way as the lid, but we make the side high. The side of my box is 5cm.
10. I knit with one crochet loops. For this box, I have knitted 5 rows.
11. So the box is ready. I want to give advice - if you save on threads in the process of tying the bottom, then when you start knit the sides, they will gather inside you, that is, the box will not have an even high edge. So knit loosely.
12. In order to seal the edges of the box, I use a clear plastic wrap to help hold my rim. It is placed inside the box and is practically invisible.
13. You can use cardboard, you don't have to reinforce the sides at all. The box holds its shape well enough. It all depends on the thread you are working with.
14. It remains for us to decorate the lid. I attach the flower with hot glue.
15. Our box is completely ready. You can put tea bags, coffee bags, spices, or all sorts of small things in it. Such a box will look and look very harmoniously on the shelf, or among the flowers on your windowsill.

Also, such a box can be used to store jewelry, all sorts of things and some kind of handicraft items. It can be made in any color and decorated as your heart desires. Hope you enjoyed my work!
