My recycled/upcycled box. Whatever i've done with it, it certainly looks prettier x

Hi everyone,

I'm having a rest day, due to pain in my neck & shoulder.

Thank you for all the kind messages x

 

I started this box several days ago.

I stripped it down & gave it a coat of paint,

I decided I wanted it to be a sewing box,

So I filled the lid accordingly,

Then I decorated the box with ribbon & lace.

I think it looks much prettier now.

I would like to enter this project into the following challenges.

This is how the box looked when I bought it from a charity shop,

It was a very soft pink colour.

 

I stripped it down & gave it a coat of paint

I enjoyed filling the lid with sewing items.
