Introduction

While recently trying to untangle my necklace from the links of my bracelet, it occurred to me that if they were stored in separate boxes, this wouldn't happen! In the interest of not taking up additional room on my dresser, (which is already crowded with too much "girl" junk!), I came up with this two-tiered box. I hope you will find it as handy as I have.

To make the box, I used a beautiful, almost pure-white piece of poplar that I bought at a local home improvement store. You will notice in the supplies list that the lower tier sides are constructed from l/2"-thick material, and the upper tier sides from 3/4"-thick material. This is not a mistake! As you progress with construction, the reason becomes clear. I recommend closely reading through the instructions several times before beginning this project, and carefully following the step photos during the process because it can be a bit confusing. (Note that there are no separate patterns for the lid tops and the base; these pieces are cut after being glued to the sides pieces.)
