So, what do you give another crafty person as a gift? Well-a handmade gift of course. Especially when you can brag that you’ve turned a simple Wood Dollar Store Box into THIS…uh-huh….nice, right?
{This post contains affiliate links referencing products used}
I made this box for my sister-in-law, who is a very talented crafter herself and also happens to be the one who introduced me to the world of Cricut. I’m not sure if my husband can appreciate this life changing crafting experience of mine, but I know I do.
The last wooden box I altered was for my Mom for Mother’s Day and I spray painted her box. For this one, I wanted to play with some Mod Podge. I adhered paper from Cosmo Cricket Salt Air collection to the sides and inside of the box, cut a multi-layered flower from Cricut Flower Shoppe and used Storybook to for the inside monogram.
Ahh….so pretty, love it! Now why am I always giving away the things I like?
