It's Amanda! With vacation time approaching, I thought it would be nice to make little keepsake boxes so my kiddos would have a place to keep their special treasures. When I saw the Argh paper (1735) from the Storybook Collection, I knew just which direction to take!
The shipwreck and treasure map themed print was just perfect for a treasure box! I covered a small wooden box with paper and added all sorts of fun treasures and embellishments. TIP: Remove hardware before adding paper and reattach when finished.
I filled the treasure box with rhinestones, pearls and gold punches. Arrrrgh!
I included some seashells from our last vacation and a braided rope made with jute string.
Be ye warned! A skull and crossbones on the top helps ward off little sisters.
And no treasure box would be complete without a lock and chain. Now let's hope we don't lose the key!
Happy summer to you!
Supplies:
Storybook Collection Argh 1735, wooden box, Mod Podge, jute string (May Arts), misc. pearls and rhinestones, black cardstock (Georgia-Pacific).
