When I am at yard sales, I cannot resist purchasing old tool boxes and trinket boxes. They call out to me with endless possibilities ! You can find these boxes at Thrift stores and Consignment shops as well. I have covered this old Tool Box with wool applique, Hand Embroidery and Beadwork.
Each house shows a different season. All the edges are
finished with a Glass Beaded Blanket Stitch.
