Class Description: The Puzzle box consists of a hinged box with a magnetic closure, holding five smaller boxes inside that fit together like a puzzle, perfect as a jewelry box or to display that special collection of treasures. But the Puzzle Box has a secret—underneath the five smaller boxes there is a secret compartment, perfect for storing private correspondence or some sweet photo memory. It would be helpful to know how to make a box, but by the time you complete the 6th box, you will be fully experienced and ready to make another Puzzle Box.
