Whilst trudging around a car boot sale I found this beautiful "hat box" for just £4!! It measures 12x12x8 inches. Hubby said "what do you need that thing for?" Men....
I NEED it to keep my ribbons in Derr!
I have tried to keep them in tidy packets, but I never used them. Soooo, I emptied them all out int the box and can rummage to my hearts content :D
Then I thought "I should personalise it a bit". Inspired by this weeks Try It On Tuesday Challenge# A bit of Up-cycling!, I added a few fabric Roses to the lid (this will stop me piling things on top)
Then I painted and inked some Tim Holtz Grunge paper letters, and glued them to the box front(so I remember what's in the box)

Only a little alteration required but I'm happy with the result :D
Enjoy :D XXX
Gorgeous!!

As Nicolet says GORGEOUS, great idea to put something 3D on top to stop you putting things on it. I can imagine all the fun you will have rummaging for just the right ribbon. :-) xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic box, I can understand how you felt the need to recycle, its a super shape. Thankyou for sharing your 'ribbon box' with us at TioT's.
