I made this trinket box today using a box that cheese came in at Christmas.

That is neat. Does it have a lid to open it? Linda

Looks heavy! Very nice. Where do you get all your shells?

Yes Linda the lid and bottom come apart. I made a line on the bottom box just below where the top stopped and then glued on the tiny seashells up to that line. The top and bottom fit real snug. Shauna, I have a bunch of shells a friend gave me, but I also order craft shells from ttp://www.usell-mart.com/. The boc is not really heavy, because the shells are so tiny, except a few on the top.
