We were gifted this homemade pine box a few Christmases ago; it was filled with scratchies so it was a big hit with a certain person. But it had been gathering dust on my studio shelves until this past month. First I painted it all white except the inside.
The first side was done with some of my favourite buttons.
Pennies were my choice for the second side.
Seashells, driftwood, and a tiny bit of sea glass for the third side.
My favourite childhood game, pick-up sticks, for the fourth side.
On the lid I decoupaged some of my most colourful stamps and added an empty thread spool from England.
The inside of the box is left as is except for a square of cork on the bottom.
I used over-sized dice for the feet of the box.
This now sits on our coffee table filled with all sorts of paraphernalia that would otherwise litter the table.
