Love the box Patti, you made a great job. How about buying a chomois leather for the outside, just an idea.

Another beautiful box. I think the mistake was like a Freudian slip, so now you have a box for you, LOL ;-) . But truly it is lovely.

Penny it was a happy mistake, coz no one would ever guess unless I told them.

Amma, why not - DH's always have pockets full of STUFF, don't they?

I agree!!! :wink: That is why I said it would be a great place to empty his pockets into :D:D:D

That was a wonderful tutorial and beautiful boxes. Thank you so much. And I think I learned that clothespins (here) are called pegs in Ireland. Thank you.

LOL, yes, we peg out the washing with them! (Though, with our weather, not many of us do, we all have dryers). They are sometimes called clothespegs, but not pins.

Thank you for the nice comments, I hope you feel able to make a box someday, and if you do, please post a pic. Happy Christmas.
