Those Crisp Tubs Again ...

Hi Everybody,

Have you had those delicious crisps again this year and have you thrown away all the empty tubs ???

Oh No you are going to be so sorry about that when you see what I have done with one.

And you can do it too ....  aaaaand if you give me a little time I will do a tutorial on how I did it !!

Over Christmas Day I promised Isabella a little treasure box for her bedroom.

I asked her if she would let me have the tub once she had eaten all the crisps in it and I would dress it with flowers for her.

She very willingly ate what was left of the crisps and gave me the tub and although I had made a start on it I hadn't finished it.
So when I went to see her yesterday she asked me ... "Have you got my crispie box with flowers ??

Oh my ... How a three year old can make you feel so guilty !!

So today I have finished it off and I will take it for her the next time I see her.

I have lined it with white felt and dressed it with flowers, ribbons and pearls

It is quite sturdy but obviously it is not a toy and she can add some little trinkets that she calls her treasure.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

    A sign of a true crafter, seeing the beauty in a potato chip container. They are chips here in the USA Christina, but I like "crisps" too.

    Good Morning Christina. Ohhhhh this is soooooo adorable! You've got a little ribbon pull to open it and little feet on the bottom. It's decorated so beautifully. I just love it! As I'm looking at it, I'm wondering what Isabella's wedding dress will look like some day …. when you make it! Thank you soooo much for sharing. Have a joy filled day.
