Another Guess What


Good Morning All

Guess What ----------




So much is recycled stuff ----

The material is the off cuts from curtains in my craft room.

Bead and chain from a broken necklace in a charity shop.

The cord round the base from a draw string waisted dress that I threw out last summer.




It's a Ferro Roche chocolate box that John gave me for Christmas, these are my very fave chocs so I always get a box for Christmas and Birthdays.

Covered with book binder glue to stick the material on.


The material wasn't wide enough to go across the lid so I had to join in the middle.


The base before I stuck the inside in.




Ribbon covering the join across the middle where the material met.


I think it is a really pretty box to adorn anyone's dressing table, but I think I will keep it for myself and store cotton wool in it.

    You made a great job of covering that box. Trouble is that I don't like those chocs - I'm not keen on Chocolate and nuts together, though I like them both on their own! (I know I'm weird).
