I had fun making my altered box.  I love using old wooden canasters for my canvas. They are very reasonable to purchase at a thrift stores (most the time cheaper than a canvas).  The insides usually has a removable plastic liner, which allows you to use your decorated box for many uses.  This box will be used house a birthday gift for a dear friend. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.

This is my project for this month, an altered canaster. 

I had fun making my altered mixed media box.  I love using old wooden canasters for my canvas. They are very reasonable to purchase at thrift stores (most the time cheaper than a canvas).  The insides usually have a removable plastic liner, which allows you to use your altered/mixed media box for many uses.  This box will be part of a gift for my grandson, I thick it will be used for some fishing tackle I have for him. 

This is what I started with, one of the small wooden box from a set of wooden canasters. 

Here are some other views of the box.

The top to the box was made from an cork bottle top I had in my stash,  along with some findings.

To alter my canaster I used the following products:

Gesso

Pentart -Lasure - Chestnut

Pentart -Lasure - Pine

DecoArt -  Heavenly Hues - Hunter Green

Sophisticated Finishes

Pentart - Finishing Waxes

Wooden gears and cogs

Stencils
