looking for project plans for a nice box to hold a Marriage Certificate (for punk rockers)

I was thinking about a box with safety pins & studs?

haha cute. safety pin joints, hahaha

I was thinking of two of these looped together on the top of the box.

Hahaha. actually i was thinking about what Alba said and i thought wouldn’t it be nifty if the lock on it looked like a safety pin? That would be so awesome.

But any suggestions where I can find a project plan for a wedding certificate (or does anyone mind measuring their box that holds their certificate? I’m not married yet so I have no idea how big to make it)

The size of the certificate does vary by location. So call the county clerk and get an idea if you can. The only things like this that I’ve seen are for the invitations. Usually with lace and dried flowers and rings. Maybe some dead, black flowers? Please show us how it turns out, I really want to see this.

How about a miniature coffin? ;-)

cute idea but that’s more gothic i think. does nail in the “till death do us part” part

I recently had a friend ask me for a box to keep his ear rings and watches. I guess you could say he is punk. I was going to make a dovetailed box and contrast white and black. I was going to make the ends white and the sides black. I thought the white and black contrasting dovetail joints would look pretty cool… You don’t have to do that but maybe use some kind of contrasting colors either by painting or finding a colored exotic wood.
