My sister, Beth found this box for me at a garage sale. She could see it's potential and thought I would love this little white box. She was right. It didn't take me long to figure out exactly what I was going to do with it...
I just used pliers to take out the handle and then the little nails were popped out on both sides so the stars and snowflakes could come off. I liked it white so there was no painting involved in this little project. I just purchased some Scrabble letters for $2 on Etsy and super-glued the word DREAM to the box.
It now sits on the bookshelf in my computer/craft/blog spot and I love it! It holds blank note cards and envelopes. Never underestimate the power of a wooden box, right? Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, life is but a dream.
Happy Tuesday!
Nice littel transformation there. I wonder if I could have come up with something so simple

ReplyDeleteThis box was originally from a Christmas collection at Pier 1 Imports. I used to be in retail management there and remember these boxes! In fact, I used to have one myself.:) I like your update to it though!

I love how you put scrabble letters on it. So simple but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Idea to place the scrabble tiles on the box, did you just paint the box or did you also sand the box as well?
ReplyDeleteI like this minimalistic transformation! Using the Scrabble letters was a great idea...
