Embellished Hat Box

by Okio B Designs - February 09, 2015

I picked up a bunch of these round hat boxes for $1 from our local thrift store last week. I gave my 7 year old one to use for his toys and I started making over this one over the weekend.

First I painted it grey using Annie Sloan chalk paint.

I know, you can barely tell but the paint is there.

I hot glued some vintage lace around the bottom and the lid. The French graphic is from the Graphics Fairy - it's one of my faves. I printed it onto vintage sheet music and glued that to the top.

I finished up by adding a fabric flower and BINGO number.

I have two more to go!

Very pretty. It reminds me of a hat box swap I did a year or so ago. That was fun to decorate and put together so I'm sure you had fun pulling embellishments out for this box.

LOVE your round box. Such a pretty storage or keepsake box. I love to paint and accent boxes too. Yours is really unique. So Paris chic!! Great to have found 7 at the thrift store.
Happy Creating!
