The large round box is made from a Laughing Cow Cheese box and the small rectangular box is an altered mini Altoid tin. I painted the round box with acrilics and after it dried, cut a circle of DP for the top and bottom and glued them on. Added a strip of polka dotted border stickers around the sides and some bling I found laying around in the studio. Just left overs from other projects. Sealed it all with a couple of layers of decoupage medium. The Altoid tin was simply covered with scraps of a Creative Memories DP that already had stickem on the back. I trimmed the lid with a scrap of grograin ribbon. The interior of the round box was painted and the inside of the Altoid tin was lined with coordinating scrap DP. Love recycling so this project, although a little late, was right up my alley!!! Thanks Mrs. Boz for the challenge!
