Loved Things Trinket Box

Keep your memories safe in this Loved Things Trinket Box! You could store photographs, souvenirs, letters or jewellery.

This craft activity is inspired by the book ‘These Long-Loved Things’ written by Josh Pyke and illustrated by Ronojoy Ghosh, published by Scholastic Australia.

  • Step 1Plan a design for your trinket box on some scrap paper. This isn’t essential but helps you to think about what design you would like to create. We used the cover of ‘These Long-Loved Things’ illustrated by Ronojoy Ghosh, as our inspiration.
  • Step 2Paint the trinket box according to your design. Paint a base coat first, then once dry you can go back in and add layers and further details. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Glue on some sequins and add some glitter. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Print a special photo of someone you love or create a design on a piece of paper to put in the frame on the box. Use the backing of the frame as a guide to cut out your photo or design before inserting into the frame. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 5Your Loved Things Trinket Box is now ready to use or gift!
