I got this idea from the trinket boxes that several ladies were posting at Splitcoaststampers. I had been wanting some way of organizing my daughter's hair accessories by color to make it easier to find what we needed each morning, and this seemed the perfect thing. I made some changes to fit what I needed. First off, my drawers are considerably larger than theirs and I made 8 that all face the same way. I didn't want to have to turn the box around to find the color we needed.
I made a blue one for Michelle, and a purple one for her friend Helen's birthday. Here's a shot of the front. The drawer pulls were made by punching shrink plastic with a large flower punch and shrinking them down. They were attached with rhinestone brads and unused eyelets behind to pull them away from the drawer.
Here's the top. I used my Wishblade to cut out their names and my Sizzix to cut out the butterfly. I also used my Sizzix to emboss the front of Helen's drawers.
I decorated the sides with more punched out flowers.
Well, all I have to do now is get Helen's in the mail to her. (It's already a bit late, oops.)
I think I'm going to start planning some projects for classes. Lord willing, we will be settling into a new house soon and I can start teaching again. Yeah!!!
Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
