| with or without words it's so cute! |
How cute is this easy little message box? It's pretty simple and not much skill involved.
You'll need a small unfinished wood box (with or without a clasp), stain or craft paint, chalkboard paint, and some kind of fake plant that fits in the base of the box.
Stain or paint the box whatever color you want. When it's dry paint 2 coats of chalkboard paint under the lid. Put the fake plant in the base, write a message in chalk on the lid or not - whatever you want. My inspiration idea for this came from a project idea I saw on Michaels.com, they used a bunch of little succulents in glass vases to fill the box but I saw this sheet of fake grass and liked it better. I put it in the bathroom with no chalk message but then saw the soap eggs I have on the counter and was inspired by them to write "nest" and place the eggs on the grass. Awwwww, I enjoy.
