Then she was hit with dylusions london blue spray and rub n buff silver leaf..

Phonograph cigar box using Graphic 45 Communique paper

HI everyone,

I wanted to do a phonograph but didn't want to create a box so I improvised. I took a tutorial from Tarascraftstudios.com and converted into an svg file. Her's was a free wpr or print file so I am providing a FREE version of the svg phonograph file based off of her picture. (please keep it free)

THESE ARE SVG FILES.. need to have the software to open. 

phonograph template direct to google drive

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Br7N8Os7bcZ2t6QVRJbWp1dWc/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Br7N8Os7bcQ0JBWlR5bU50Qk0/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Br7N8Os7bcYVBxb09TcGRtN0U/view?usp=sharing

I then took a cigar box (small) and unhinged it. used the bottom part only. This i used as the top base.

The bottom base is a complete cigar box resting on TH metal feet. Paper is Graphic 45 communique. Metals for the wheel and holder are TH screws. 

Left for knobs I used a Graphic 45 metal staple. smaller knob is a button painted in black sitting on a pencil eraser with a Graphic 45 small metal staple.

Hope you find great use out of the SVG files. (should send you to three)
