Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello and Happy Monday all my Clear Scraps Friends! Misty @Mommyofkidz here with you today. Can you believe that the year is almost HALF OVER!?? Where has all the time gone? I had so many goals…so many things that I wanted to accomplish and places that I wanted to go this year, and I feel like I have missed all those opportunities! What about you, have you had a productive year so far?
Either way, I plan to make the rest of the year a memorable one! My goal is to find a balance between home, work and crafts…and maybe toss in a few extra crafts! Ha Ha Ha~~
Today I will be sharing my newest Clear Scraps Project with you.

I have been making so many of those super fun shaker tags that I am so addicted to and I do not really hav e place to put the unused ones. Correction…I DIDN’T have place. As of today, they all now have a place to call home! Clear Scraps has several different Wooden Tag Boxes in their store just waiting to be decorated! I loved the detailed front of the Regular Tag Box, so I grabbed that one and set to work!

I knew that I wanted to use a woodgrain paper to cover the outside, but I wanted the inside and edges to be painted. I decided that white was the color that would work best for my purposes, and I started painting. I used a quick drying paint, so by the time I finished painting the last section of the box, the first was dry. I was able to paint and cover the outer edges all at the same time with no extended waiting time. I LOVE that kind of project!! WOOO HOOO! I was even able to assemble it all in that same sitting! WOW~! This is the best! Of course, I had to allow it to sit overnight for the wood glue to dry , but I was ok with that…it was time for me to go to bed after all that anyway! HA!!!

So, the next day after I got home from work, my Tag Box was ready for the hardware and any final touches. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to use, so I pulled out several options. I finally landed on a very minimal design, and only added two metal pieces to the front. I did use a thick jute rope as a border around the top edges of the box.

When it was finished…I sat back and smiled. It is exactly what I was hoping for! I love the beach marine vibes that it gives off! And below is a photo of it filled with some of my recent tags! Beautiful AND Functional…Heck YES!!!!! Below is a photo of the finished box, actually holding some of my recent tags!
