#77: Decorate Wood Challenge at Unstampabelles is coming to an end.....

And who can believe that March is nearly over as well! 

Unstampabelles still have a week to run on their March Challenge

Decorate something Wooden

So, for this week I decorated a wooden box of sorts......

It is a garden Box - to contain small hand tools, gloves and seeds, and twine so you can take these things too and fro to your garden bed easily. 

I got hubby to make it from some old timber

My design and his work

It is rustic in appearance....

The centre will be for seed packets

I gave it two good thick coats of  white acrylic paint

Once it was fry I began to find and apply some old rub-ons and stickers I had

The stickers will not stay on for long but they added a fun element

Both sides of the box I used a foil transfer to create some interest and make it feminine 

These foil stickers have been hanging around for ages - they are actually a cross between a rub-on and a sticker overlaid with some pink foil 

The ends got rub-ons added

Just for a bit of interest really

This is to be a gift for Easter so I will purchase the gloves and tools and seeds and fill the box up with Easter goodies too - I had fun creating the idea and decorating it and I managed to do it without the cat getting in the paint!

Here is some more inspiration for you

Here is some wood decorated with a beautiful autumn sky and green grass
