So now I have all kinds of busted up fingers and even more kinds of excuses as to why I wasn't able to fully finish this project.
BUT - it IS functional and usable as is - it's just not as visually appealing as I'd hoped. Hey, what can I say - I'm no big time craft blogger!!
I found this idea on Finley and Oliver - where she pulls off a way cuter final project with a way better box. But whatever. Use your imagination and pretend my box kicks butt too.
Before I sat down to work on this project - I made myself a cup of chai tea with a splash of coconut milk and turned on last night's recorded episode of Downton Abbey. Loving this season already!
Who else is a fan?
I found myself getting way too distracted by the show to focus well on the project. And there are never any commercials where you can shift attention to something else for a little bit - you have to pay attention the whole time!
Anyway - I'm way off topic here - my point is, I spray painted the box with white spray paint.
I used E-6000 glue to adhere the lego building plate to the box, and a Sharpie paint pen to add Beckett's name. I had every intention in the world of mod podging this super cute blue and white polka dot paper to the inside and spicing up the outside with something else cute but life (and burned fingers) got in the way!
I intend to work some more on it - but this is what we have for now, and it's still functional!
When it's finished, we can take this with us in the car, to appointments - places where he'll need something fun to do and I think (hope) it will be a good alternative to showing him videos on my iPhone. HA.
I'm not deeming this a craft fail (yet). I think it has potential!
