Tim Holtz boxes to alter

[Jules1960]

Oooh, loving that, Julie. So far, looking at these my first thought has been "Very nice, but where would I put it and it'll just collect dust" (housework is NOT my forte ) but I really like the vintage sewing stuff, and have some interesting bits, so maybe I'll do one of these one day ...

There's a piece of acetate with each one which fits inside the lid, you choose whether or not to use it. I'll be using mine as I hate to dust. I'm also trying to stick or attach everything inside because my OCD kicks in when I move it and something falls off/down

I've already got some sewing related items in mine - ScrappyDandyDoo has inspired me to dig deep into my supplies to find more.

I love yours Julie. I'm like Eileen- didn't think they were really my thing, but I inherited my mum's sewing box and there are lots of little old things that I won't use but don't want to throw out ....

Thank you

Mine is a work in progress, there are a few pics on my blog. I just dont seem to have anything to go in it!

Julie love the idea of a sewing themed one. Would look fab in my sewing room. Think will have a go at making own box as well as got lots little papier mache boxes. Dolls House items would be good to go in boxes to.

Today I've blogged what I made with the 3 leftover boxes I had from the last project, where I removed some to make a bigger compartment

I tried to post on your blog but it said to choose a profile and I didn't know what that meant!

Just wanted to let you know that the tissue tape is designed not to stick to itself so maybe the parts that are peeling on your configurations box are trying to stick to itself. Either that or you have a duff roll as I find it sticks pretty well. You're never going to stick furniture with it but as decoration it seems to stick fine.

HERES mine so far

So lovely..brill idea!

[hopberni]

Yeah, they're small screw eyes, a bit like cup hooks but with a closed circle at the end rather than a hook. They're just screwed straight into the sides of the boxes. They were in the class kit, I dunno where you'd buy them from, maybe B&Q or somewhere?

The ones in B&Q are slightly larger than the ones Tim gave us and are £5+ for 25. I bought 100 (same size as B&Q) for a £1 at the local It's a pound store. I darkened them with black acrylic paint. It's what I used in my second box. I haven't been able to track down the smaller ones. Presumably TH bought them in the U.S.

It's the account you sign in with Debbie. So, for example, I have a Google account so I choose the Google profile and then can make a comment. Different blogs list different ones so sometimes you can sign in through Yahoo or through Facebook.

Thanks for the heads up - I guess I'll be going to the pound store! I did look amongst my odds and sods but the ones I have are a bit too big.
