– Small wooden slabs (4 pieces measuring 8 inches by 2 inches)
– Wood glue
– A square corner brace
– Nails
– Screws
– Hinges (2 pieces)

Step-by-step Instructions:

Step 1: Cut the Plywood
Cut the plywood down into four pieces (2 sides, bottom, top). The dimensions for this chest are 12 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 8 inches tall. Cut the side pieces to 8 inches wide by 8 inches tall. Cut the top and bottom pieces to 12 inches long by 8 inches wide.

Step 2: Attach the Slabs
Take one of the side pieces and place a small slab at the bottom of it, to make a base. Use wood glue and nail it in place. Repeat this for the other side piece. Your two side pieces should both have a base attached to them.

Step 3: Attach the Top
Attach the top piece by screwing in a hinge to one of the sides, attaching the hinge to the top, and then screwing the other part of the hinge to the other side of the chest. The top should now be able to open and close.

Step 4: Attach the Bottom
Attach the bottom piece by screwing in a square corner brace to one side, then flipping the chest upside down, placing the bottom piece into place, and screwing it in. Make sure the bottom is flush with the sides and there are no gaps.

Step 5: Attach the Latch
Attach the latch to the front of the chest to keep it closed when it’s not in use.

Step 6: Decorate
This step is optional, but you can paint or stain the chest to your liking, you can also add some gold paint to give your simple treasure chest the extra shine.
