It works perfectly and costs almost nothing

How to construct one? Easy! This is nothing ground braking but might still help some of you:

Clear out a shelf or a section of your closet. Closet is even better because there's no dismembering of the studio if you don't want it to be seen when you're not using it

Buy white paper. Mine is 220g/m2 (quite thick). It needs to be big enough to cover the bottom of the shelf, the back and the top. Why the top? If you choose to use a mirror for your photos this will help you avoid dark corners and/or different colors. Also, if you smudge the bottom you can turn the paper on the other side.
Bend the paper to cover the shelf, wall and top of the shelf. Try to keep it nicely curved and not squished.

If your shelf is narrow - something white on the sides would help but is not necessary. If you're photographing small objects the sides won't be a problem

Get some lamps. Lights. White ones are best but any kind will do. I use ihavenoideawhatkind lamps. They are yellowish which is annoying but i haven't yet bothered to buy white ones. Oh well... The yellow tint can be easily removed by adjusting the white balance on your camera or in post production (photoshop, corel photopaint, gimp, etc)

And that's it!

Onto taking pictures of stuff inside my studio instead of taking pictures of the studio ]]>

I also love them because they can stand on their own (you can use them on shows stacked against a slightly leaning board/wall/whatever, you save time on packing because the earrings are half packed already and the earrings hang nicely in the box)

oh! and you can also put some cotton or fuzzy material on the bottom to stop the earrings from smashing into each other handy for shipping

You need:
- thick paper or thin cardboard
- scissors, needle or something sharp and pointy
- ruler
- some sort of strong adhesive
- wire - 0,4mm or 0,6mm will do
- pliers - round and flat nose
- something to cut the wire with

The lid tutorial is coming soon (most likely tomorrow) and i'll also put up a couple of different box-blueprints that you can print out at home and save time on calculating the dimensions

EDIT: smart ideas from :
"If you want more structure, you can make the ends fold over more times. Just decrease the size by a millimeter or so each time You can do the same with the sides, too, if you like, but the ends are easier.

Also, you can poke the wire all the way through all the layers if you want to have a little handle for people to use to pull it open. You can do that and have the end of the enclosing box piece shut. That makes it a little harder for it to slide open accidentally, and again gives it a little more structural integrity."

Thank you Kalany!

Happy box-making!

The lid is very easy to make The measurements i mention here are just to explain how to make the box, don't take them literally

The last flap (named 9mm flap here) should be a bit smaller then the first flap (the 11mm flap) because otherwise you would have to be laser-precise to make it fit perfectly. Even a 0,2mm difference looks messy. so you just make the last flap a bit narrower and everything is peachy

If you ever decide to use this tutorial please take a pic and send me a link, i'd love to see your boxes

anywho, i hope this one will do

1. string 3 (6, 9 or 12...) beads and tie them together.
2. continue stringing beads (adding 2 beads for the following 4 triangles and 1 bead for the last triangle) until you get this shape
3. this is the tricky part. now you have to continue making triangles - watch out because the ball will deform and you could easily loose track of where you should add triangles. try making the first ball in several colors - each row a different color. this row widens the ball. if you want a mini ball then stop here and repeat #2. if you want a bigger ball continue making #3 - careful - you have to add triangles to each new row; if you don't you'll end up making a sock-tube (i did that once by accident ). you can finish this bigger ball by repeating the steps backwards.

this "tutorial" is not something i learned somewhere; i wanted to make a hollow sphere and this is what i came up with. it worked for me, i hope it's gonna work for you, but if it doesn't try searching the internet for a real tutorial, there might be a better way to do this.

have fun beading!

this is how i made those cuff bracelets (Flawless [link] Hot Chocolate, etc.)
i don't know the name of the original technique - edit: Autumn-beads and kufka say this is the right angled weave (RAW) technique - mystery solved!

you just follow the blue line and everything should be OK. oo, and use same-sized beads, otherwise it'll turn out messy (kinda like my hot chocolate, but i didn't have a choice, we don't have that quality of beads in all colors here )

if you have any questions just ask

you need some beads and thin wire for this. it's fun because you can make lacey patterns by attaching a couple of different single row bracelets togerher

should i put these in scraps or can they stay here? ]]>
