Paint Swatch Boxes

I saw this project involving paint swatch boxes and immediately wanted to try it. The materials I used were paint swatches, an x-acto knife, a pencil, ruler, and glue. The process involved first marking measurements with a ruler. Then I used my x-acto to cut the sides, I folded them and hot glued them in place. They didn't look great at first but I went back in with a liquid glue and cleaned up the sides a bit.


In the end they look very cute but are not the most sturdy containers. It was a nice project but I can create stronger boxes with different material that are easier to work with.

Whiskey The Pooh

This project is called 'What's actually in that jar, Pooh?' I used a whiskey bottle and some paint to create this bottle design. I think it's pretty funny but I'm not yet sure what I want to do with it now.
