Small Needlework Gift Box

A range of small handmade custom wooden boxes aimed at the needleworker, eg cross stitch, needlepoint, embroidery, to complete with their own work.  A removable insert in the lid allows the needleworker to mount their own work making each box a unique personal gift for friends, family, or self.   Unique gifts for Mother's Day. 

Hinged or swivel lids.  All boxes provided without needlework.  Padding shown is not provided

Another Small Needlework Gift Box

In this version, a small oak needlework box is presented in cube form.  The lid, with its curved rim, is held in place by 2 pairs of small magnets.  Here we are demonstrating that the lid need not be conventionally flat rimmed.  Great for mounting and presenting those small sewing, hardanger and canvas work projects.

Alternatively, the same design of small oak needlework/embroidery box with bold brass-effect hinges and a more conventional flat rim lid. As shown, lid insert 80mm x 80mm.

Small-medium Needlework Sewing Box

Shown in oak.  Custom sewing boxes with lid inserts on which needlepoint can be mounted are available to order in the size required.  So not having a correct sized box is no excuse for not starting that next canvas work, crewel or embroidery project.  Internally, the base and lid are lined with black cotton velvet.  Available in other woods.  Shown with brass-effect hinges.

Deep Embroidery Needlework Box

Shown in red meranti hardwood, a deeper sewing box for mounting and displaying needlework, cross stitch, canvas work etc on the lid.  A provided lid-insert allows the needlework to be mounted on the insert and then press-fitted to the lid.  Internally, lid and base lined with black cotton velvet. 

Shown with handcrafted wooden hinges.

Circular Aperture Needlework/Embroidery Box

For those round projects a circular aperture may be what is required.  Circular lid insert diameter as required.  Shown in oak with a 190mm diameter aperture.  Internal base and underside of lid shown with a black cotton velvet lining.  Two pairs of small magnets set into box/lid rim act as a catch.  Box sized as required.

Medium Needlework Sewing Box

Custom needlework sewing box shown in red meranti hardwood.  Internally, lid and base lined with black velvet.  This version of the needlework box includes a single sliding tray, magnets set into the box and lid to gently hold the lid closed and handcrafted wooden hinges.

Medium Needlework Sewing Box

A variation of the handcrafted medium needlework sewing box in red meranti hardwood.  This version uses brass barrel hinges and does not have a sliding tray.  Underside of lid and internal base lined with black cotton velvet.  Again magnets set into the rim and lid provide a light catch-effect.  With the lid closed, the hinges and magnets are hidden giving the box very clean lines maximizing focus on the mounted needlework/canvas work.

Sometimes it helps to have an object to compare the box size to.  This image includes a 300mm (12 Inch) rule and coffee mug.

Please note: this design does not include a sliding tray.

Available in oak if a lighter colour is required.

Larger sewing boxes can be fitted with sliding trays as required. Handles and catches are optional.

Small Oval Needlework Gift Box

A small oval wooden needlework box.  The removable lid uses a pair pair of rare-earth magnets as the hinge.  This design - the sizing of which can be adjusted slightly - is intended for small boxes; if a larger box - with oval lid insert - was required we would adapt the circular style box below.  Internal base lined with thin foam.
