When you have accumulated the majority of the above materials, the time has come to begin making your music box. Here are the bearings to collect it.
Stage One: set up the chipboard box. Since these cases are some of the time unstable, they should be fortified with by setting craft glue around within base edge of the case (side and base) and them enabling it to solidify. Next, simply apply an overwhelming layer of Tacky paste to within sides of the case and let them dry.
Stage Two: utilizing a paintbrush, paint box and top with the ivory acrylic paint. Paint the dots with medium pink.
Stage Three: Cut one strip from the net lace, 15 ¾? X 2 ¾", and one 4 ½" circle. Utilizing the thin-bodied Tacky paste, overlay net lace strip to side of box, arranging top edge. Slice little indents to side of box, arranging top edge. Cut little scores in ½" overhang, covering to box base and ensuring it is level and smooth. Focusing, overlay 4 ½" hover to box base.

Stage Five: To stamp the opening position for the winding-key shaft, put melodic development inside box at front focus (crease is at back). Draw a line around the melodic development. Expel melodic development and place a speck of paint on winding-key shaft. Press the melodic development, winding-key shaft side down, back in the crate. Expel the melodic development and bore a ¼" opening in box, focusing winding-enter shaft in the gap.

Stage eight: Wind the breeze key extender onto the winding key. Wind the breeze key extender onto the winding-key shaft so music can play. Place a bunny with magnet over the mirror. Place the tree at the inside back of box and remaining bunnies on each side of the tree. Move the tree and bunnies so the moving bunny does not find them. When they are in the correct position, stick them on with a little measure of mechanical quality paste. Ensure abundance stick does not leak from under the dolls and onto the mirror.
