Part 1 Box coverA​ 00' 29'' ​

The box cover is worked using a magic ring, crocheting in rounds counterclockwise from the center outwards. When completed, sew on acrylic rhinestones and weave in a ribbon for decoration. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Note:
1. After completing the third round, the dimension from the center to the edge of the third round should be about 2cm. If it differs too much, pay attention to adjusting your tension as you crochet.
2. After finishing the sixth round, align the fabric piece with the music box for size comparison, ensuring the edge of the piece matches up with the top edge of the box.
3. In the ninth round position, thread a ribbon through and tie a bow; after completion, trim the ribbon and seal the edges.
4. When crocheting is finished, sew round acrylic rhinestones into the dents along the edge of the last round, totaling 12 pieces (use sewing thread for sewing).

Part 2 SwanB​

The swans total 2, each divided into four parts: body, wings, mouth, and head adornment. The making method for the first three parts is entirely identical; only the head adornment part differs. Start by crocheting the body, then make the wings, followed by the mouth, and finally complete the head adornment section.

Step 1 Body(two strands of 03#Snow White held together)B1​ 43' 11'' ​

The body starts with a magic ring and is crocheted in rounds counterclockwise. During the process, stuffing cotton and shaping wire need to be added. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Step 2 Wings (two strands of 03#Snow White held together)B2​ 62' 09'' ​

The wings are divided into Wing One and Wing Two. Both wings use the same stitch pattern, starting with a foundation chain and working back and forth for a certain number of rows. The placement of stitches differs between them. After completing the wings, decorate them with seed beads and acrylic diamonds. Then sew them onto the corresponding positions on the swan's body. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Note: Use sewing thread for seed beads; use alcohol glue for acrylic rhinestones.

Step 3 MouthB3​ 81' 48'' ​

The mouth is divided into crocheted parts and nonwoven fabric. Complete the crocheted section first, then make the nonwoven fabric part. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Nonwoven fabric part:
 First, cut out a triangle with three sides all roughly 1 cm. Then, slightly trim one side into a protruding curve, and the other two sides into slightly indented curves.
After cutting, apply glue to the nonwoven fabric and stick it to one side of the sewn mouth. Glue the other piece of nonwoven fabric on the symmetrical position on the other side.

Step 4 Head AccrssoriesB4​ 85' 59'' ​

The head accessories of the two swans are different, one is a crown and the other is a top hat. The making methods are different, please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Note:
1. After completing the crown, leave a 20cm yarn tail for sewing.
2. The hat is made up of black acrylic钻, gold thread, and nonwoven fabric. Please refer to the video demonstration for the specific making method.

Part 3 AssembleC​ 93' 57'' ​

First, assemble the box body and base of the music box. Then, attach the box cover to the music box body. Last, stick the two swans on the top of the box cover. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Note: 
1. After assembling the box cover with the music box, you need to glue 12 oval-shaped acrylic rhinestones in the openwork area between the sixth round and seventh round.
2. Last, attach two swans above the completed box cover, please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.
