Miniature Apothecary Boxes Tutorial

 Hi my Mini Friends!  I wasn't quite sure what to call these apothecary boxes because they might be a called a cabinet?  Even though they aren't big cabinets or what I would consider a cabinet.  Maybe a supply box or doctor's box?  Nevertheless, today I am showing you easy chipboard boxes to make.  The drawers do not open.  Matter of fact, I didn't even put a back on them mainly because they all had homes inside of a bookshelf or against a wall in my Apothecary.  

As usual, I did not include measurements.  Mainly because I just winged it making these the right size for each spot I needed them for.   I think they turned out great and really went together in no time.  



I did put legs on the one I am showing as my tutorial.  
So maybe that one would be considered a cabinet.

As you can see here, I cut from chipboard two sides, a bottom, top and front piece.  I also cut thin strips to look like drawers or square pieces to also look like drawers.



I used my trusty Elmers wood glue to piece them together.


The legs I bought from an Etsy shop.




You can see the tiny labels below.  I found the free printable online for these and shrunk them down.


I used beads as the drawer pulls.


The blue one is my favorite.





Thanks for stopping by and I really hope you enjoyed this!

XOXO ~Laurie

  2. The chests look great and really so simple to do. Who knew? I quite like the rounded window above the door and the balcony flower boxes in your last post. Coming together beautifully. An artist's loft would be a good choice. They always tended to be small spaces, cheaper rent and only a bed and a hot plate and tons of pictures and mess. Artists were (are) more concerned with their abilities rather than their living conditions. 🙂
