My first diy project will be,...

Nice box a n d the top will look beautiful once its done. Good luck!

I really like the stump idea!

Awesome! I will let you know!

If you can't find it and really need it let me know...I sell all kinds of adhesives for work (thrilling? lol) and might be able to get a sample or something!

Perfect! I will definitely look into that Thanks

I will be waiting...

Ha ha ok I will work on that one tonight when I am at home with all the photos

OHHH make a post with all of your projects! I would love to see!

Your man certainly is a keeper! so handy

3M makes a spray glue that might be good for getting glitter to stick, might be worth a shot- these are so glitzy, and will look great with that dress of yours!

I was so surprised, I was not expecting him to do this at all, I just showed him a photo on pinterest and said this would be neat as a card box , and 3 days later I came home to this .. he did good I definatly have a keeper!! he has made a few other items too for our special day!!

Thanks! I will definitely post a photo when we get those done!

those will look super beautiful and elegant! love them !youll have to post a photo once you are done !!

I havn't tried painting yet but I will be painting my table numbers. Michaels had wood numbers and little platforms I can glue them onto. I will be using acrylic paint in a gold colour for them and then coating it with a spakle gold spray paint.

What we also might try is painting it and then getting gold sparkles and basically dipping it in and seeing how it works out. We can get a couple numbers and test them both and see the end results before we finish the rest!

This is what the end result should look like!

I would like to build it mostly myself, but If I find a pre- lidded box I might take that short cut. I'm not very good with tools, and I'd rather be safe

Thanks for the paint tips!

Thanks Lisa- I hadn't thought of chalk paint, but I think I might look into it. I do like the slight vinatge feeling

This is beyond amazing! Great work! I'm so impressed right now- you should be so proud!

Youtube videos is a great idea too- thanks!

That will look so cute Melissa , I have worked with chalk paint Alot on my projects for the wedding ... just goes with my theme ... and I will admit I just watch YouTube to learn how to make Alot of stuff lol ! my fh is always say Oh crap there she goes again lol
My Fh made our card box out of a stump ... I too will be placing a lock on it ... it's sad but you just don't know who you can trust these days!

My stepdad made my cupboards for my bathroom vanity and he used chalk paint! It looks great and has a mild vintage vibe. I think chalk paint would be awesome for this!And I like gray and white is a nice combination!

Hey Melissa! Can't wait to see how it will look like! The paint you choose should go with the material you choose to make your box. The one you posted looks like it's made of wood. You could use latex or oil-based paint for that. Will you start it from scrath and build the whole box with the lid?

Haha fair enough! And it's not REALLY cheating. I'm sure yours will look fantastic anyways, so no need to pseudo cheat

I have promised this project to another friend who want to help- but don't think you'll escape a craft date for literally EVERYTHING else

We'll see how weird my flower looks before I cheat with a premade one!

YAY!!! SO CUTE! I've painted a bunch of things... any tips would depend on the material the box is made of. And if you want to save yourself trying to make the flower, you could just get a pretty one from Michaels, glue it on and it would look great!! Let me know if you need a hand... I smell a crafting date
