Hi Everyone, hope you are enjoying the season and looking forward to autumn and the snuggly nights in by the fire.

  1. I painted my box with two coats of Annie Sloan chalk paint and let those fully dry.
  2. I waxed the box to seal and protect the wood.

3. I then had fun arranging my letters and stuck them on with the glue gun and arranged my decorations too to see what design I liked the most. Simple.
