trinket boxes

I just finished the last of these trinket boxes, they will be gifts for the girls in the family, and are made from Craft Concepts wooden boxes available from print blocks. They were so easy and cheap to decorate, just some old papers, pearls, a little lace and chip corners, and some old earrings or cameos. What better way to recycle and create at the same time, and to blend it all together I have dry brushed them with gesso. I will find a sparkly bracelet to go in each and I have three presents sorted!
