You've Got Mail (Boxes)



Painted chip-board mailboxes for K and K. The little flags go up and down, and the fronts open for goodies to be stored inside. I glued foam hearts on the fronts for added dimension.
TIP: It is much easier to paint hearts upside down. Who knew?

Gesundheit

Tissue holders! So easy to make and CUTE!!! Maybe now I'll have tissues handy in the car, instead of just a squished box on the back seat floor board. Tutorial from Bella Dia.
