This is totally a Christmas Present idea!! When I was a kid, I had a little wooden box that had miniature worry dolls inside. It was my worry box and whenever I was worried, I could take out a little doll and tell it my worries. Here is my take on a newer 'worry box!' This time, worries can be written down and put into the little tin! I think this might be my little box, because 5 is my special number!
I started with an empty Altoid tin. Then I just got lost in the gluing paper, smearing on paint, rub-ons and doodling . . . I didn't take one picture of my process!!
I think it would be fun to write down your worries on little tags and put them in the box.
Plus, I put a little note in the bottom, just as encouragement!
LOVE this idea, Karen! I had worry dolls, too, and so did my son, so I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! LOVE all of the layers and stars (especially that little wooden one on top)! FAB way to alter the Altoid box! 4 is MY special number! GREAT project! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteDarling, Karen! What a great idea! Now to find that one empty Altoid tin that I have somewhere in the house! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGirl, not only do I love the altered look of your altered tin/box, I love the reason. I never heard about a worry box but I think it's an awesome idea. Love it and love the black and white stripes.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea ! And a lovely end result, must have a go at this x
ReplyDeleteKaren I adore it.....from the outside to words of encouragement inside..I can see myself carrying something like this around...inspirational!!
