This is a fun and easy project! You may have most or all of these items at home. If not, they can be found at the craft store for little money.
Materials:
- Wooden box of any size
- Acrylic paints or craft paints
- Paint brushes
- Paper – Colorful and or textured
- 4 round napkin rings
- Unfinished wooden knob (craft store)
- High tack glue
Paint the box inside and out whatever colors you wish. I glued corrugated paper I had onto the top and then made a paper snowflake to glue on top of that. Paint the wooden knob and then glue it on to the top front of the box so it can be used to open and close it. When everything is totally dry, glue 4 napkin rings to the bottom to make a beautiful base. You can get really creative with this project. Perhaps decoupage pictures from a magazine, drawings or photos on top or glue some beads on the sides. You can also line the inside with paper, felt, fabric or just paint it.
It makes a lovely gift! The one you see here I made with my daughter 3 years ago as a gift for my husband. When he comes home from work, he puts his wallet, cash, business cards and wedding ring in there. I even glued a small velvet box in there that holds his ring. No more searching the house for his stuff! And no more clutter on the counter!
