Creatables Wooden Christmas Box


Sorry about more Christmas things in January, but I'm still catching up on posting projects I finished last fall.

This is another altered cigar box. This one had a sliding top, so my husband drilled a hole in the top, and I added a little knob so it would be easier to open. The knob and the edges of the box were shaded with Viva Decor Inca Gold, then I applied some wood veneer to all the sides. The Marianne Creatables were cut and embossed from a lighter veneer, and shaded while still in the die with the Inca Gold, then the whole thing was varnished.

I made it while the shop was still open, and a lady paid me for it while I was still working on it. She wanted it for her husband for Christmas. I love it when that happens!

  1. Really nice box! And I wouldn't get tired of seeing your Christmas cards and projects all year long...because I am now working on my Christmas things all year long...so I don't feel so over whelmed at Christmas...And I need all the inspiration that I can get.
