Making your own music box requires patience and precision, but the process is easier than you might think. Choose a hinged wooden box and music box mechanism to create your music box. Then, simply decorate the hinged wooden box however you like and install the music box mechanism. Your music box will be ready to use or give as a gift in no time!
Choose a hinged wooden box to hold the music box mechanism.
For most standard sized mechanisms, you'll need a box that is at least 2 in (5.1 cm) deep, 3 in (7.6 cm) long, and 2 in (5.1 cm) wide. Take measurements on your music box mechanism before you choose a box to be sure. Also, keep in mind that larger boxes may work better since they can hold more than just the mechanism.
make your own hinged wooden box
if you prefer to start from scratch.
Hinged wooden boxes are available at craft supply stores and online in a wide range of sizes and styles.
Paint the inside and outside of the box if desired.
Purchase a music box mechanism kit.
There are many types of music box mechanisms available, from ones that operate with gears to those that feature a series of bells or paper scroll mechanisms. Find a music box store or website to choose your preferred type. You can even customize the song by choosing a pre-loaded song or programming the music box with your own song.
Make sure that you check the dimensions of the music box mechanism before you purchase it to ensure that it will fit into the box you have chosen.
Create a paper template by tracing around the mechanism.
Place the musical mechanism onto a sheet of paper and trace around its perimeter with a pen or pencil. Then, use scissors to cut around this outline. Once you cut out the template, flip over the mechanism to reveal the bottom and rest the template on top. Use a pen or pencil to lightly mark the screw holes and keyhole on the paper template.
If you cannot see the holes through the paper template, use a small ruler to measure where they lie on the mechanism in comparison to each side. Mark dots on the template using those same measurements.
Cut a divider to separate trinkets from the mechanism.
Trim a thin piece of wood, making it as long as the width of the box and roughly
in (3.2 mm) thick. Ensure that the wood’s width matches or exceeds the height of the mechanism, but is at least
in (3.2 to 6.4 mm) shorter than the side of the box. Then, sand down any rough edges.
You do not need a divider if the box is only large enough for the mechanism and nothing else.
Secure the divider with hot glue or wood glue.
