Bits and bobs boxes

We've been busy again! This time there was no sewing involved but instead, lots of glue! We have a few plain boxes between us and thought we'd put them to good use! These two hexagonal boxes have magnetic closures, so we thought they might make good 'bits and bob's' boxes! We used several layers of wadding on the top, which we stretched material over tightly and fixed it into position with a hot glue gun.  We thought that the padded tops could be used as pin cushions!  Fortunately, this glue sets really quickly and is very strong, so it was perfect for this task! Then we took to the main body of the box with hi-tack glue, cardboard, ribbon, punched paper flowers, sparkly gems and metallic pens - great fun! Hope you like!
