Santa is on my phone.

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

(Calm white)

I enjoyed filling the lid with sewing items.

 

 

The original inside.

 

The finished box,

complete with sewing items.

I started with a plain brown box,

Stained it, then stamped on it & added embellishments.

 

The flowers are from my stash.

I made the rosette with white netting stained with distress ink.

 

I bought all these for £3

I knew they would come in handy.

I used the amber stone in the centre.

 

I think it goes quite well with the box.

 

The "Feet" are wooden beads.

 

Items used.

Brown box (The Range)

Tim Holtz Distress inks.

Assorted stamps (From my stash)

Amber Bead Embellishment ( £1... Charity shop)
