You've planned everything – from the location, to what you’ll say, even down to the actual design of the ring. Yes, you designed your very own engagement ring, with the help of a professional jeweler of course! Now all you have to do is ask her. Since you've gone to all this trouble, have you considered making your own ring box too?
Sure you the velvet-lined box from the jeweler. It’s nice, but we think you can make it even better. This will take a little bit of work, but will end up putting that special day over the top and all the more romantic. So brush up on your high school wood shop skills and call on your inner mountain man. Okay, don’t go growing a beard, but be thinking manly, burly, and rugged.
Does your girlfriend have a special tree that she used to climb as a kid? Did you guys ever have a “sappy” encounter with one and carve your initials in the bark? Okay, if not just chose a tree from her backyard. We’re sure you can find a sentimental piece of wood somewhere. Choose a branch and cut it down.
After sizing out a smaller section for the lid, make the necessary cuts and sand the wood. Bore a hole in the larger piece and line it with the velvet from the jeweler’s box. Fit the lid by using a dowel that will also allow the lid to spin. It will be the perfect complement to her engagement ring, and a wonderful story to tell for years to come!
