Easy to make, this stained glass trinket box is constructed purely of flat panels of glass and soldered together, no curves or intricate patterns. The lid consists of one sheet of glass cut at an angle into four pieces and then soldered together, the bottom is one sheet of glass and the four sides are cut into strips and soldered onto the bottom sheet.
A single long hinge, constructed out of a copper metal tube with copper wire inserted through it, is attached to two copper wire rings soldered to the back of the box.
A flat piece of copper covered in solder is soldered to the front panel with a little wire hook for keeping the lid closed
A trinket box is also known by other terms such as jewel case or casket and has been used from medieval times on dressers to store anything from jewelry to all those little mementos such as photos and beads as well as precious ear rings, rings and anything else that has a priceless personal value to you.
