Stitch a pretty trinket box

Here’s a rockin idea from Sylvia of Windy River Beadwork & Embroidery. She says,

I started with a little paper maché box which I coated with several layers of a translucent metallic gold acrylic paint. I then embroidered little tops for each box and glued them onto the box tops…Voila – a series of little trinket boxes!

The materials for this project are inexpensive–except for the investment of your time–but the results are elegant and gift-worthy. Go to her blog post to see several other beautiful designs.
