I also had a full-on weekend, so no time for boot sales or charity shops.
Remember my lovely new friend that I picked up in the junk shop?! Well, we got together for a girly day of wine and crafting on Saturday and I decorated these little wooden boxes.
Inspired, I managed to find a larger project to take on in the charity shop this morning.
This hat box was only £1.25, but it's a little too flowery for my taste, so with a lick of paint and some decoupage, hopefully I can transform it into some pretty, practical storage.

I love boxes, we have them all over the house....really love the hat box, I'm sure it will look amazing when you are finished with it :)
ReplyDeleteHaha no pressure then! x
DeleteThey're great - I might have to pinch that idea, really thrifty! Looking forward to seeing the hat box all jazzed up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicky. The wooden ones I did where a chocolate box (square) and the round ones were a couple of quid from QD. You could also use the wooden cheese (brie etc) boxes. I painted with ordinary emulsion tester pot, the images are cut from wrapping paper then glued on and over with watered don PVA. x
DeleteThese would be lovely to put pressies in. I'll have to give it a go, I've got an old jewellery box that's seen better days...
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty, and what a fabulous price for the hatbox.
ReplyDeleteAh, fabulous! Nothing better than crafting with friends, eh? And the boxes are BEAUTY.
ReplyDeleteNever tried decoupage but it looks like fun. Is it tricky?
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly boxes are gorgeous - think I need to find a crafty friend! Sounds fun x
ReplyDeleteDelightful butterfly boxes. Brie boxes are a great idea. Lovely for a special gift wrap.
ReplyDeleteLove them, good work Mrs! Looking forward to seeing how the hat box turns out x
ReplyDeleteThose would make excellent gift boxes!
ReplyDeleteDecoupage is next on my list too. I have all the bits just never the time!
