In an effort to distance myself from the stress of my mother-in-law and her constant barrage of "I think you should *insert your choice of things that I don't do her way)" and the ever-present "this is my house and you're going to do things my way", I have been spending a lot of time in the garage crafting. I would like to share one of the projects I have done in the past few weeks.
I made a Chest to use as a portable/travel altar box.
 |
| I started with this metal gum box that one of my girls gave me and some brown paper |
 |
| I ripped the paper into strips |
 |
| Then I mod-podged the paper to the gum box |
 |
| I then painted, distressed, and started decorating it. Yes I add skulls to almost everything |
 |
| This is a look at it from the top fully decorated |
 |
| I lined the inside top and bottom with this pretty material I had. |
I hope you like the finished project, I know I do. I really enjoyed this project and have a few more projects I'll be sharing with you soon.
What do you do to distract yourself from people or things that bring stress and/or chaos into your life?
Would love some new ideas.
Blessings
Ashley
