Chiming in the Holidays

Hi friends, Lets Craft and Create has a challenge called Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Bella Creations asks us to take something in our home, alter it for use in our home during the holidays.

I kept this wooden porto crate for ever, knowing I would one day alter it. Well, the day has come !
Here is the pic of it before I got my dirty little hands on it :


And this is how it looks today:


I rubbed it with inka-gold, added some gold glitter here and there, music paper to cover the old labels...


X-mas cluster, x-mas ball, made a big double bow...


And these ( they are straight IRL, they were just dangling from me moving it) are glass ornaments that chime when gently clicked...Cool huh !!!

I will put candles around it come x-mas time; I think it will look beautiful

TFL...xoxoxooxox
