Brittany's Box

I made a box for my niece this Christmas. It all started when I went to Michael's and found these little metal squares on sale for $.99. I didn't know what I'd do with them but they were on sale.

I painted little blue flowers on the tiles. Sorry this photo is so fuzzy.

Then I decided to sew blue beads around the edges of the flowers, leaving the corner holes empty so I could attach the pieces together.




bracelet made, I now needed to get the box ready. I found an old wooden box that had been the victim of many failed ideas. After sanding it down a bit I glued material to it and cross-stitched Brit's name across the top. Then I made a divider and cut the box into two compartments.


I painted an egg with the same flowers as the bracelet and attached a hanger. Wa-la, ornament. I put padding onto one side of the box and created a platform for the bracelet on the other side. Now all I had to do was put it all together.
