How to make a wooden secret box (using the laser cutter)

Step 5Decorating the box

Decorating the box
I wanted to use studs to give a vintage and traditional look to the box.

Be careful of where you put the studs! Because the box has only one layer of wood, they have a lot of chance to point out from the inside!

The solution I found was to use them for decoration and fixing purposes.This is why they are mounted only on the outside border of the top part of the box. This way, they fix tightly the top part to the sides of the box.
The wood I used was very thin, so I had to be careful to put them straight so that they don't point out.
Don't use a hammer to put them in, it might damage the box. Use a tool, or the head of a hammer, to press them down in the wood.
