Vintage boxes

Hi Debbie here with a really quick and easy project.

These were plain and wooden,I covered the base with a mixture of colours using babywipes and cheap watercolour paints from the pound shop.

I  used decopatch glue with a few sewing patterns from magazines and pages from books and a couple of stamps to finish the boxes off.

There are some fabulous ephemera websites online I found the cotton reel images on FLIKR. The great thing is that until I find lots of things to put in them, they all stack inside eachother.

LOVE this idea! I've done a similar idea but always used scrapbook papers - feel so dumb for not thinking about sewing patterns! Brilliant idea! Thank you x
