Hi everyone. I hope everyone had a good weekend. It is Make it for Monday again hosted by Cindy at Cottage Instincts. Well my project is a series of white numbered hatboxes. I was inspired to do this thanks to A Beach Cottage, Sarah had a great post on a painted and numbered toolbox. I didn't have a toolbox, but I did have some hatboxes from a Christmas display. So I said to myself why not.
Here are the hatboxes before, rather plain. I think I bought them at Jo Ann's. So I picked a number font and sized them for each box.
Here goes the paint. I used some eggshell paint I had in my garage. I just made sure it was kind of matte.
Next I printed numbers on full sheet clear labels and cut them out carefully. I did this because my is not study enough to paint numbers. Anyway no one will ever know.
There you have it numbered hatboxes, great for storage and they look pretty too.

ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway!!! Anthro love!!!
I love what you did with these boxes! And using clear stickers? That was brilliant! I'm not sure I'd have a steady enough hand to free paint them either and this is a perfect way to get the look. You've inspired me to do something similar around my home!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the giveaway, that's so very generous of you. I follow your blog, simply because I love what you share!
Just found your blog, I'm loving it. I would love to be entered into the drawing. I am going to add you to my blog list on my blog.
ReplyDelete"Fields of Linen and White" I have a couple blogs, so check them out if you have a chance
Blessings
Your blog is lovely. I am a new follower. (I'm a bit unfamiliar with Blogger. How do I mark you as my favorite?) Anyway, please count me in for a chance at such a generous giveaway!

What a great idea these painted boxes are! You must have a very steady hand for cutting. I love your blog and I am a follower. I will be happy to add you to my favorites list. I love your clean, white style! Please put my name in the hat for the drawing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these painted boxes! I have some handmade hats one of my grandmothers made years ago, and I definitely think this is an idea for storing some of them..
