Wedding Card Gift Box

Project by Woodwrecker posted 54 days ago 368 views 2 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

A friend asked for a Wedding Card Gift Box.
This is what I came up with.

Photos of the happy couple will be put in place.
The puppy isn’t getting married.

It revolves on an imitation “Elegant Ellen” to show all four sides of pictures
(Respects to my Buddy).

The lid is hinged and the lock is behind the frames which are held in place with Velcro.

It is about 18” X 9 1/2 X 10”.

My daughters decorated it with the Fall foliage.
That’s the Weddings theme.
(Very cool working with them.)

Thanks for looking.

The box is meant for guests to deposit their monetary gift cards in as they proceed down the receiving line to
congratulate the newly weds.
The project request was made by the sister of the bride who is arranging the ceremony.

OK, maybe I’m not the only one who doesn’t know, so I’ll ask and save someone else from looking dumb – I assume an “Elegant Ellen” is similar to a “Lazy Susan”??? What is the difference?

What sized pictures is this made to hold – 4” x 6” with mat, 5” x 7” without?

Very nice job – I like it! Can see these as Christmas gifts.

Hi Jim,
The term “Elegant Ellen” was coined by “Patron” for some very nice Lazy Susan’s Ellen35 made.

Check out her project page, she’s awesome.

Patron is top notch in the craftsmanship department. Check out his stuff!

So I was goofing around because she is my buddy by calling the swiveling part Elegant Ellen..

The picture frames are full size and can hold an 8×10.

The box is just simple Pine and swivels to show all pictures.

The piece sits on a table next to the couple and accepts gift cards fom guests. helps to keep from someone having to stand there holding a bag.

It worked out quite well and wasn’t hard to build.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for looking.
