I Made It Monday...

Back to back 

"I Made It Mondays?"

Uh oh...

Apparently I was on a blog-cation last week.

And again with the toy animal crafts?

Uh oh...

I am also apparently somewhat in love with toy animals.

My apologies for the broken record of it all. 

I've made lots of these little boxes along my way.

Some for Birthdays

This one was all about the little recipient Fiona

and some for new babies

This one was for my niece Paige's new bebe.
 Whose name was "Rowan" according to her Momma,
but not so much according to hers Daddy.
Perhaps the R scrabble piece was the determining factor? Hmmm...

Today I decided to make some animal topped boxes

with a more monochromatic feel.

Let me give you a brief warning.

This project has the ghastly potential of overwhelm,

 as the materials and application of those materials

are arduous.

Here goes... 

Toy.Box.Paint.Paper :)

Can ya handle it????

This really is one of the most easy peasy projects

that I've eva eva made. 

(that has actually resulted in a worthy craft...)

Choose your animal and your box

Then

choose your paper and your paint

I painted the horse and the lid with craft paint.

Then modge podged the paper to the actual box (container).

Then set it all aside to dry. 

The horse needed a few coats to look good and covered.

When everything was dry,

 I glued the horse to the box

and just like that your craft is done!

Word to the wise.
Remove excess glue  prior to taking picture, geesh

I added a little painted trophy to this one

So off you go, shoo

Go get your craft on...
