I seem to have been really busy recently even though it's been quiet-ish at work. In between cake orders and my sister's birthday a couple of weekends back, I had time to point and line another box that was gifted to me at Easter. As blue is my favourite colour, of course I painted it in my Annie Sloan Greek blue and in a similar fashion as my bargain box I found last summer.
The box itself is a shoe shine box that my mum found at our local vintage shop. It was in good condition and only needed a bit of clean inside.
I did end up waxing the entire box with my Annie Sloan wax but the unpainted sections didn't really need it.
I then used some board my dad cut to the correct size to line the box. I picked up some striped material from Hobbycraft, of course in blue to match.
The material just stuck on with double sided tape and a little bit of fabric glue to help in the corners and then they just slotted in to a place. I just a laid a piece of the material on the bottom to finish of the lining before the sides were put in.
Now I have two boxes to sort my magazines in.
