I remember seeing storage cubes created with chipboard coasters, and thought this might be useful for storage on my stamp table. I took inspiration from one of my very favorite paper collections from K&Co. It is called Maison, and is from Brenda Walton. It has that Shabby Chic/ French look. I have hoarded all of the paper and elements for years.
I started with 5, 5 inch chipboard squares (4 sides and the bottom). I pierced holes so that the parts could be laced into shape with twine on the bottoms. To hold the top in shape, I used tape and then covered the inside and outside with coordinating DP. I took strips of the inside paper and created a lacy border with an MS border punch. All of the seams and chipboard edges were then coated with Fiber Scrap, Walnut Ink Tintz in a Tea Stain color. The embellishments were also Maison, and they are all Grand Adhesions.
I thought this to be a useful project, and I can't wait to see what the rest of our lovely Rose's have created for us. Please be sure to visit our bouquet...... Olga, Sue, Kym, Betty, Kerrie, Connie, and Patti. They are sure to give great inspiration! Sorry Connie and Patti, Blogger will not let me link the two of you. Their blogs can be found on my sidebar.

Mary Anne, I totally love your "junk box" and how you've tied the corners together with the twine! And thanks for reminding me to post my project which I thankfully made up earlier this month!!
Great project...love the DP and all the embellishments. Always fun to see what thr Roses come up with for the end of the month. Would not call the contents junk though. Hee hee.
Wow, Mary Anne...I am blown away, this is just great!!! And you can still hoard those items and enjoy them at the same time. A win, win for you! I love those papers and your creativity with this, I never would have thought of that. Can't wait to see the other girls things. Tfs and LOVE your "junk box".
Have a wonderful day!

What a great project, I thought you bought it, so I would say you can do 3D quite well. Love everything about this and how fun to have on your desk.
