Herb Ox Display


Last Christmas I had the best time with the 12 Tins of Christmas when I altered these vintage Herb-Ox boxes and added feet to the actual wood display box. 

My Aunt Coco had taken a shine to them then so I thought this year when I played along with the Funky Junky 12 Tags challenge again, I'd pass this project to her for Christmas. 

I couldn't just leave it alone, I had to add three more boxes (thanks Ebay), some molding, screw the feet in so they didn't keep breaking off (thanks hot glue, not!) and add some chippies up in the corner!

Here is what it looked like last year:



Really love the feel of it now, since now it appears to be FINISHED !



It has headed off in the mail and I hope my Aunt likes it as much as I do!

Happy Friday! 

Oh and onward and upward! Wait until you see what I'm working on this year for the Funky Junky 12 Tags challenge!
