Craft Consortium Pencil/Storage Pot

For those of you who 'do' Valentine's Day...  the day is fast approaching!

Are you the romantic hearts and flowers type or not, I wonder?

Well, for those of us that aren't I've come up with an alternative solution.  

And it doesn't take too long to make or require too many Craft Consortium materials.  

And some of them are still for sale...  so just maybe this'll tempt you enough to go take a look before all the bargains are gone.

(I'll include some links near the end of this post).

I know it's 'only' a pencil pot...  but what do you think?

Of course, it doesn't have to be just for pencils now, does it?

I know for a fact that I've got plenty of craft tools that would be very at home in this little pot of mine!

Who would have thought that this started off as an 'off cut' from a cardboard flue - left lying on the garage floor after my boiler had to be replaced?

Craft Consortium supplies used:

Decoupage Paper
Walcot

Always & Forever

Vintage Silver Heart Charms

Santoro - Kori Kumi

A6 Embossing Folder - Hearts

(Out of Stock, but any small heart embossing folder should work equally well.  Use Mirri card, then gently sand on diagonals to get this kind of effect).

Printed Wooden Frames

(I simply painted over one of these with a few layers of white acrylic paint).

Wherever you are, wishing you a happy and safe weekend...
