Display Box
D
This great accessory is both functional and decorative. The inside space is large enough
for a variety of storage purposes, everything from keeping remote controls together to serving as
a jewelry Box. The piece is also useful for displaying keepsakes, such as photos, treasured
collections, or (as shown here) pretty shells.

Making the Lower Box
1. Cut four Lower Box Sides (A) from 3/8”-thick plywood, each measuring 15-1/8 x 14-3/4
inches.
2. Place two of the Lower Box Sides (A) on edge parallel to each other on a flat level surface
and 14-3/4” apart. Place the remaining two Lower Box Sides (A) between the ends of the
first two Lower Box Sides (A) as shown in Figure 1 . Apply glue to the meeting surfaces,
and nail the sides together using three 1” finishing nails on each joint. Nail through the face
of the overlapping Lower Box Sides (A) into the end of the Lower Box Sides (A).

3. Cut one Lower Bottom (B) from 3/8”-
thick plywood, measuring 5-1/8 x 14-3/4
inches. Place the Lower Bottom (B) over
the edges of assembled Lower Box Sides
(A) as shown in Figure 2. Apply glue to
the meeting surfaces and nail through the
Lower Bottom (B) into the Lower Box
Sides (A) using five 1” nails on each side.
Making the Upper Lid
Figure 1
1. Cut four Lid Sides (C) from 3/8”-thick
plywood, each measuring 2-1/4 x 14-3/4
inches.
2. Place two of the Lid Sides (C) on edge, parallel to each other on a flat level surface, and 14-
3/4-inches apart. Place the remaining two Lid Sides (C) between the ends of the first two
Lid Sides (C), as shown in Figure 1 . Apply glue to the meeting surfaces, and attach the
sides together by using 1” finishing nails. Nail through the face of the overlapping Lid Sides
(C) into the end of the Lid Sides (C).
3. Cut one Lid Top (D) from 3/8”-thick plywood, measuring 14-3/4 x 15-1/8 inches. Place the
Lid Top (D) over the edges of assembled Lid Sides (C), as shown in Figure 2 . Apply glue
to the meeting surfaces and nail through the Lid Top (D) into the Lid Sides (C), using four
1” nails on each side.
Attaching the Top Molding
1. Place the assembled lid on a flat surface,
with the Lid Top (D) facing up.
Figure 2
2. Cut two Long Top Trims (E) from 3-1/4”-
wide crown molding at a compound 45-
degree angle, each measuring 15-1/8-
inches. Attach the two Long Trims (E) on
the long sides of the Lid Top (D) as shown
in Figure 3 .
3. Cut two Shorter Top Trims (F) from 3-1/4”-wide crown molding at a compound 45-degree
angle, each measuring 14-3/4” long. Attach the two Short Trims (F) on the shorter sides of
the Lid Top (D) as shown in Figure 4 .

4. Cut four Inside Trims (G) from 3/8”-
thick plywood, each measuring 2 x 11-
1/2-inches.
Figure 3
5. Place two of the Inside Trims (G) on
edge parallel to each other on a flat
level surface and 11-1/2” apart. Place
the remaining Inside Trims (G) between
the ends of the first two Inside Trims
(G) as for the Lower Box Sides (A)
(see Figure 1) . Apply glue to the
meeting surfaces, and nail the sides
together using two 1” finishing nails.
Nail through the face of the overlapping
Inside Trims (G) into the end of the
Inside Trims (G).
6. Place the assembled Inside Trims (G) inside the crown molding frame, as shown in Figure 5.
Apply glue to the meeting surfaces. The glue alone will be all that is needed to hold the
Inside Trims (G) in place.
Adding the Feet and the
Plastic Top
1. Find the center of the purchased 12
x 11-1/4-inch clear plastic sheeting
(H). Use a ruler to draw two
bisecting lines, each from opposing
corners, as shown in Figure 6 . The
center is the point at which the lines
intersect. Drill a hole and add the
drawer pull. Note: Don’t get
discouraged about which side the
drawer pull should be--you can’t do
that incorrectly! (We tried!) If you
do not plan to change the decorative
contents of the box, you can seal the
plastic sheets with clear silicone.
Figure 4
2. Place the assembled lower box upside-down on a flat surface so that the Lower Bottom (B)
is facing up. Drill through all four corners the Lower Bottom (B), in the locations shown in
Figure 7.

3. To attach the curtain rod finials to the Lower Bottom (B), screw through the inside of the
lower box into the curtain rod finials (I) using 1-1/2” screws.
Figure 7
Finishing
1. Fill any nail holes, cracks or imperfections with wood filler.
2. Sand all areas of the assembled display box.
3. Stain or paint your box the color of your choice. We chose a satin-finish maroon red paint,
and painted the feet white.
