Popular Post John B Posted October 8, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted October 8, 2019 G'day all, Have finished another lot of trinket boxes. We have the Spring Festival on Sunday so hopefully They will go. Some designs I have posted before. The Heart, Round bird and cat are new. Also used Western Red Cedar on the Love birds with the blue felt and "Mum" is pine with and Oregon (Douglas Fir) top it has a purple glitter felt. The red bands are Jarrah. All boxes are flocked and the lids have a proud, flocked piece under them, so they fit snugly into bases. amazingkevin, GPscroller, Karl S and 14 others 15 2 Quote

Thanks Bill, The cat was a free pattern I got from a site long since forgotten I reduced it to fit on my boxes. The round one, Love Birds and heart are silhouettes I found online. The Robin is from a tissue box pattern. The Elephants, I found a pic and modified it. Mum I made up using the background of another pattern and the Roos I put in the place of deers. danny, OzarkSawdust and amazingkevin 3 Quote
