What do you get when you mix an old beat up jewelry box from the thrift store and some paper, glue and paint?
You get a jewelry box full of glue, paper and paint ofcourse.
Sounds kind of obvious really, BUT if you mix in some time, some creativity and a few extras here and there.... you will get one great gift idea.
I don't do "down time" well. When my kids are gone to their fathers, I sometimes feel like the house is too quiet, and there is nothing to do... that is when I can focus in on some quality creative time.

Oh WOW this is fab and I have the exact same one gathering dust in my basement! Do you use modge podge for the papers? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKaron i actually pre-cut all the papers and ran them through the zyron.. I have used modge podge before.. put it on the wood and then apply paper. i use a ruler to smooth it flat. thank you for the comment...
DeleteSo wonderful and very tempted to give this a go - maybe in the summer:-)
