A Box of Drawers



The weekend is almost here, yay!  I know, I'm retired so everyday is like Sunday for me but I still love the weekends.

Ok,  on to my project.  No, it's not a tissue box and maybe from my title you're thinking, a box of drawers--does she have underwear in that box?   LOL!   Well actually, when it opens up there are four drawers inside this box and it looks like this--


Ta dah...


Isn't this neat?  I saw this as I was surfing the net and you can see how this is done with written instructions and a video here.   This blog post was done almost 2 years ago so perhaps some of you may have already seen or made a box like this, but this was my first time and I was so excited to make one for Easter.   Some jelly beans and chocolate eggs will go very nicely in these cute litte boxes.

The image I used is a Tiddly Inks digital called Bunny Q and my DPs are from the Prima Jack n' Jill collection, which I seem to be reaching for all the time, I just love it.

Are you getting your Easter projects done?   Can't wait  to see!

Shirley this is the most coolest thing I've seen lately !!! I haven't seen one of these & yours is just too too cute ... Good thing you included the link for the directions to make it cuz I thought it was quite impossible to do ... You make it look so simple but still such a wonderful piece of work. Who wouldn't love to get this with candy or a bit of embellishments in it !!! Super idea !!!
Hugs, Janie

This is totally inspiring, Shirley! I have this template forever and could never find the time to do it! You definitely inspired me to make one! Thank you so much for sharing!

Lynn said...

Love it! Love it! Love it! That is the best creation I've seen in a long time. Thanks for telling us the link. You know what I'll be doing this weekend!

Elise said...

LMAO!!! Shirley, you CRACK me up about the weekends and yet you're retired so everyday is like a Sunday for you! I was sitting here and giggling with what you said! lol!

Well, look at this!!! You always are so creative Shirley! Now why can't I think "outside the box?" Instead I am IN the box! lol! This is soooOooo beautiful! I'm not even going to say, "I'll give this a try." because I know I just won't have the patience to do this .. only to probably have mines all fall apart when I open the box! LOL!!! I'll just come to your blog and watch you get creative and that's all good enough for me!!! hehe!

Love ya!
Elise
