Vintage Perfume "Crate"

I am taking great creative license when I actually call

this little box a perfume crate - however that is what I

think it looks like.  This was one of those "on-the-fly"

crafts - I actually did this before work this morning.....

what can I say, when the urge to create hits - you just

gotta go with it!

Here's the before of the little box - it's about 8"x10".

I had to lose the dirty raffia and the loopy wire first.

(It was $2.50 at my fav Thrift Store)

I had these knobs left over from this makeover - most

of them were broken on the original chest of drawers

so this was a good way to repurpose the leftover ones

that were still intact.

Once I removed the metal "star" plates on each side -

I printed the graphic on canvas transfer paper and actually

ironed it onto the side of the box. 

It was an easy-peasy morning craft makeover! 

I lined the inside with a pretty little piece of scrapbook paper.

And there you have it.....ready for some pretty frenchy perfume

bottles or maybe on the bathroom counter with some faceclothes and

soap?  I am sure it will be put to good use!

The roses are a little added bonus - I usually keep cut flowers

around the house and these little gems have lasted well

over a week now.....

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

p.s. I know the pics aren't great but that's
how I roll at 0530 a.m.!
