Something for me!  On the weekend my lovely Mum came over for a visit.  Master Viking was at a friend’s place, the girls were pottering and Mister Viking went to Bunnings for 2 hours, so it was the perfect time to do some crafting for me.  I covered one of those Kaisercraft mdf storage boxes and it was lots of fun.  Firstly, I glued all of the little cardboard boxes together.  Then I painted all of the wooden pieces in a brownish colour that I mixed up from acrylics that I had left over from Claudine Hellmuth’s collage technique course that I took last year.  Once dry (and it dried very quickly), I took to the pieces with some fine sandpaper and really roughed up the edges to give the framework a used, vintage feel.  Next, I slotted the pieces back together.  Simple.  Then I hit my paper collection and chose pinky/reds, teal blues and mustard yellows (probably my 3 favourite colours) and used the box front as a template to trace out a front cover.  I glued these onto the little boxes and added a brad as a little feature by punching a hole with a skewer through the cardboard.  I am really happy with the result.  It is for storing crafty bits and pieces.  It would also be good for storing girl’s things, like hair ties and pins, and school ties and lip glosses.
