Card Box!

Futuremrsk, on July 5, 2019 at 2:08 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 18
Finally sat down to paint our card box today! I got the box from.hobby lobby, and used my paints to paint a few sunflowers and put our name and date on it! My grandma taught me how to paint when I was in high school and I try to do it when I can to help keep her memory alive. I'm no where near as good as she was but I try!

What is everyone doing for their boxes? Any other DIYing?

    Your sunflowers are lovely! We're also DIYing our card box. My FW built the box and I stained it. I'm still trying to finalize the design that I want to paint on it. You wouldn't think it would be that difficult, it is just a card box after all! We're planning to keep ours as a memory box after the wedding.

    Thank you!! If we had the tools I'd probably have built it as well, but for now store bought is fine lol! I hear ya on deciding what to paint!! I wanted to keep it simple since a lot of our decor is simple already so didnt want to do anything too elaborate! I hope you post pics when yours in done!

    Thanks. Smiley laugh It's removable too so I think one of my bridesmaids is going to make new ones for both the shower and the wedding. I wasn't really feeling the original one.

    That's my thing too- what can we reuse or resell after the wedding?

    Thanks!! Yours is great! I love how the opening is on the side instead of the top! I feel like that will help solve some of the cards getting jammed!

    Love the sunflowers! We went pretty simple with ours using a wooden crate we found at Ross for $6 and added some embellishments left over from other wedding projects.

    I have started trying to make our card box, then I ran out of flowers. and black paint. So I had to order more and get more paint as well. What do you guys think, honest opinions please....I can always just use it as a bank......
