I had such fun making a box using a new fence board that I aged with apple cider vinegar and steel wool, that I decided to try another one using a label from The Graphics Fairy. To see the directions for aging a board, click HERE.
I tried to darken the label a bit, so I soaked it in coffee. It came out a little bit darker...
I then Mod Podged it on the board.
I think it turned out pretty neat.
Here it is with four pint size canning jars set inside. They hold the flowers perfectly!
So on to the Giveaway! I will be giving this box (just the box, not the flowers or canning jars--too hard to mail!) to one lucky winner. I will be picking the winner on Friday, July 22, 2011 at 5pm Mountain Time.
