I got this nice pine box at Dollarama, it was plain and needed a good sanding, but the craftsmanship is nice enough to use them as a blank canvas. Once the surface was sanded smooth I used a soft layer of stain to give it a nice starting color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the stain was dry, I decided, after a look outside, to paint it in a fall design. Over the next three days I added branches and colorful leaves until autumn was covering every surface. Then I coated it with four layers of polyethylene to give a nice shine and protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I had the hinges reattached and everything was dry, I lined the bottom with a piece of fabric of my own design (available at m Spoonflower store<\/a>) and the walls with soft dark blue fabric. This is the end result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
