Making a treasury for a wedding with your own hands is not that difficult. To do this, you need some tools and materials - their availability and range will determine how beautiful and neat your work will be.
You also need to take into account that the “cash register” of a young family should be in the same style as the design and some details - the young couple’s glasses of champagne, champagne, a wish book, a fireplace, etc. The minimum requirement for the design of the treasury is a neutral decor that will not look foreign in relation to other items.
Round treasury
Another “quickie” option, because a Raffaello box is perfect for such a treasury, however, for a full-fledged “treasury” you will have to use two boxes, or glue two components of the box together.
Another option, with a simple lid, can be made by shortening the top lid from the Raffaello box, or you can make it yourself.

To do this, you need to cut a strip of 20 by 50 cm from thick cardboard (the dimensions can vary arbitrarily). This strip is glued together, a base is cut out for it, with allowances for gluing, which must be cut with fringe. Glue the base to the side.
The lid is made in a similar way, but the width of the strip will be no more than 10 cm. A slot is made in the center of the lid. Both the lid and the side of the box are decorated.

Such a treasury is easy to make due to the fact that the improvised means from which it is made are very common in everyday life.

A little more and the most important stage in your life will come - the wedding. Your friends and family will want to share this holiday with you. There will be many gifts, congratulations, laughter and tears of joy. The question arises: where to put wedding gifts? You won’t hold it in your hands, and the guests themselves should see that you appreciate the attention. Choosing a gift is a difficult matter. You never know whether you will please the newlyweds or not, so guests give a certain amount of money in an envelope. A long time ago they came up with such a wedding accessory as a wedding treasury. Previously, these were decorated bottles, but now everything is changing, so many ideas are appearing and, most importantly, the desire to surprise those present at the celebration, to do something different from everyone else. Having attended weddings or flipped through the pages of magazines, we can see that many chests for money have now been invented: heart-shaped, round treasury, cake-treasury, house-treasury, or just square chests. You can see examples of the treasury of young people for a wedding by watching this video.
DIY wedding treasury
Let's look at examples of what types of family treasury there are for a wedding.
1) The simplest and at the same time elegant will be a wedding treasury in the shape of a circle. A round box with a slot for money is decorated with various ribbons, brooches, flowers, lace or rhinestones.
2) Wedding money chest - heart. Your treasury will contain not only money, but also love.
3)My home is my fortress. A treasury in the form of a house will protect your well-being and prosperity.
4) No one would have thought that a sweet dessert could be an excellent accessory for your wedding. Flowers and bows will serve as an excellent decoration.
Such a variety of treasury for a wedding will not only surprise, but also leave positive emotions and memories.
The theme of your wedding must coincide with the selected accessories.
What accessories and fabrics will help decorate your chest?
— Lace will make the product delicate and expensive.
— Satin ribbons will add elegance.
— All kinds of rhinestones and beads.
— Chests decorated with bows or flowers will look very cute and beautiful.
— Modeling or drawings will highlight your creativity.
— Chiffon will add lightness and airiness.
A great idea would be to stick a joint photo of the bride and groom on such an accessory. You can write a poem, come up with and embroider the name of your family’s “bank”.
There are a lot of master classes on making a wedding treasury with your own hands.
You can see one master class below.

Step No. 5. Take glue and apply it to the end of the side part. For best effect, keep for 5 minutes.

Do-it-yourself treasury-heart for a wedding
The wedding treasury option, beloved and sought after by many couples, as a symbol of love, is quite simple to make.
Much simpler than the same chest. The cutout can be located in the very heart, or on its side, but in this case these edges should be straight, but not convex, since the treasury will stand on one side, and on the other there will be a slot for envelopes. A small master class.
To work you will need:
- Thick cardboard (beer), watercolor paper, newspaper for template
- Pencil, ruler, scissors, meter tape
- Glue Moment “Crystal”
- Paper for scrapbooking, or fabric - in a word, everything for decoration, braid

First step. Fold the newspaper in half, draw a drop and cut it out. The heart template is ready. Transfer it to cardboard and cut it out. Using a centimeter, measure the length of the edge of the heart - this will be the length of the side. Determine the width arbitrarily, but add centimeter margins to it for gluing, and cut these allowances with fringe or teeth. Glue design paper onto this strip in advance. Try it on your heart, mark the location of the slit and make it.
Second step. Glue the heart together. Cover with paper. Decorate the slots and joints of the cardboard with braid.
Third step. Decor! The best option is a ribbon encircling the heart, plus a small bouquet that duplicates the bride’s bouquet. This design can be made in any color and will fit perfectly into any wedding style.
Money box for a wedding
Features a removable lid. It will be more difficult to make such a treasury with a cylindrical shape. And the most romantic option is a heart-shaped box.
- A good shoebox will work as a base.
- Cover the inside with paper.
- Take a large piece of silk or satin fabric. Its size must correspond to the full size of the box with a margin.
- Glue the pieces of fabric, wrapping the box with a gun.
- Hide the leftovers with a piece of tape or cut them off.
- The lid can be covered with decorative paper to match the color of the fabric.
- Make a slot similar to the hole found in any piggy bank.
- Decorate the resulting product. These can be contrasting small details that shine beautifully on the fabric in which the product is wrapped.

Round treasury
A round treasury is even easier to make than a square one. A cake box is suitable for it, which is covered with paper inside and out and decorated with various decorations: ribbons, bows, rhinestones, etc.
If you cannot find a suitable box, then you can make it yourself.
To do this, a strip is cut out 20 cm wide and 40–60 cm long, depending on the size of the treasury. The strip is glued together, a base is cut out for it, which is also glued. A lid is made in the same way (only the strip should be much narrower), in the center of which a slot is made.

Such a box is decorated by analogy with other forms of treasury - the decor depends only on the imagination of the manufacturer himself.
Wedding coffers in the shape of a heart can also be considered round. An interesting version of such a heart can be obtained if it is made from an insulating material called isodom, the thickness of which should be at least 10 mm. Two hearts are cut out of it (top and bottom parts) and a side panel, which is glued between the two parts.
Then the resulting form is covered with red cloth, and lace is placed on top of it. The work on making such a box is completed by decorating it with flowers, ribbons, and rhinestones. The main thing is not to forget to make a slot on one side of the heart for the envelope.
A wedding treasury can become one of the most striking wedding accessories with a little imagination. And when it is made by loved ones or the newlyweds themselves, it then becomes a touching reminder of an important event in life.
Treasury-heart for a wedding with a hinged lid
Modern weddings are thought out from top to bottom. The times when money was placed on a tray as a gift are irrevocably gone. In order to present a cash gift in an envelope, modern wedding planners use such an attribute as a wedding treasury.
Beautifully decorated chests become a repository of cash investments in the family budget of the young.
Let's try to make a heart-shaped treasury for a wedding with our own hands. The size of the heart-treasury is 27 cm in height and 37 cm in width.
For the base you need to prepare:
- insulating material “Izodom” 10 mm thick;
- red satin fabric;
- white openwork fabric (guipure) - slightly larger than red fabric;
- beautiful white braid 1.2 cm wide;
- Velcro contact tape (for attaching the “window” for removing money)
For decoration:
- red satin ribbon 1.2 cm wide or ready-made roses;
- white tulle;
- beads of different sizes, red and white.
Tools:
- glue gun;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- sewing needle;
- tailor's pins;
- regular white and red threads.

Having printed and cut out 2 heart templates (each on an A4 sheet), use tailor's pins to attach the paper heart to the isodome and cut out 2 such blanks.
[justified_image_grid ids=”1804,1805"]
Additionally, we cut out a circle with a diameter of 14 cm; this will be a decorative “cover” for the hole in one of the hearts. Izodom is a very good material, one of its disadvantages is the wavy surface, so some parts are not quite the correct shape.
You also need to cut out the sides for the treasury - 9.5 cm wide. The length of the side is 110 cm, but it is better to cut off a strip with a margin, so that it is better to cut off the excess later. In one of the hearts (it will be the outside of the treasury), you need to cut a circle with a diameter of 10-11 cm (so that your hand can fit freely through).
We cut the sides into 2 parts and begin to glue them with a hot gun to the heart with a window, moving from the top of the heart to the bottom.
We repeat the same with the second part of the side panel, very carefully connecting the joints of the two parts.

Now we glue the second heart, without a hole. Izodom is a very good material, it bends remarkably well and can take any shape.
We cut off the protruding parts, align all the joints that look ugly.
Now we make a slot for throwing envelopes with congratulations and money - on the upper part of the side panel on the left. The cutout size is 10.5 cm by 2 cm. Check that the envelopes fit freely into this slot.
[j[justified_image_grid ids="1810,1811"]p>
The next simple step is to cover the entire treasury with red fabric. We cut out the hearts and sides, glue them with hot glue, then cut a window and a slot for envelopes (unfortunately, there are no photos of these steps, but they are simple).
Now you need to glue the openwork fabric on top of the red fabric. Fold the fabric in half, pin the paper templates using tailor's pins, cut out with small allowances and get 2 hearts.
We cut out the sides from guipure - a strip 110 cm long and 10.5 cm wide. We pin all the parts to the base with red satin and begin to sew by hand with a seam over the edge.

Hand stitching allows us to adjust the tension of the fabric, and excess can be trimmed off while stitching. This is what should happen in the end.
[jus[justified_image_grid ids="1815,1816"]
We cut out a “window” hole and a slot.
We decorate all the seams, as well as the slot-slit, with a suitable braid, carefully gluing it with a hot gun.
We also cover the lid with red satin, and on top with guipure. We glue the satin completely, and the guipure only on the sides. We decorate the side with white braid using glue.
We will attach the cover to the window using small strips of contact tape glued to the edge of the window and the underside of the cover.
We hide the ugly edges of the window behind white taped tape.
At our discretion and capabilities, we decorate the lid and slot (for example, with roses, which can be made from satin ribbons using our master class).

The treasury is a modern attribute of a wedding banquet.

The shape and size of the treasury for money depend on capabilities, imagination and the availability of free time. Such a product may look like:
