This is my new Compartment Tray Wrap box and it is approximately 9" x 3-7/8" x 3/4" and has two inside compartments with a divider option for the smaller. You can use the box with just the tray or include the two smaller divider boxes for a different look...and to divide it into three compartments, just use the small divider piece! I love when a box has so many possibilities!
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out all the pieces in your desired papers.
2. Starting with the largest box, fold on all the score lines and add adhesive to the top scored areas and where the tabs will adhere as shown.
3. Adhere the tabs to the sides of the box.
4. Fold the top score lines down on the two short sides.
5. Fold the top score lines down on the two long sides to form the main tray.
6. For the smaller box fold on all the score lines and add adhesive on the side tabs.
7. Adhere the tabs to the sides of the box.
8. With the remaining piece, fold on all the score lines and add adhesive to the tabs.
9. Adhere the side tabs to form.
10. You should now have two boxes that look like this.
11. Fold the divider as shown and add adhesive in the peak area.
12. Adhere the peak sides together then place adhesive on the bottom.
13. Adhere the divider inside the smaller box as shown.
14. Add adhesive to the outside of the box.
15. Add adhesive to the bottom of the main tray.

I have always loved the large racks that you place each thread spool on but I have a tiny little room and it just isn't feasible. I needed something where I could "see" the thread colors and something that could stack to help with my storage issues...so this is my Sewing Thread Storage box and it is my solution for storing my thread! The box is approximately 8-3/4" x 5-1/8" x 1-1/2" and has a hinged lid, two inside boxes, and an acetate cut. The two inside boxes are about 2-1/2"x 8-5/8" which holds a variety of spool sizes as well as other items such as glitter bottles, dew drops, or items for gifting! This box is also customizable. You could leave the two inside boxes out and have a large box with viewable storage for larger items or you could use the "release compound path" and remove the two viewable areas from the lid and have a hinged gift box! The Sewing Thread Storage box can be cut on either the 12x12 or 8-1/2x12 mats as well!
