So..... At the moment I am working on the "gift treasure box" for my best friends wedding.  For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, now days the bride and groom normally ask for gifts in the form of money or gift vouchers.  Lots of people use either a cardboard box or a wishing well to collect their gifts.  I am making a pirates treasure chest instead as it ties in with the wedding message and theme.

I am going to show you step by step how I made the box.  I will also try and load up a video of me making my second master piece (we will see how it goes!!!) Step 1 Obviously select the box you want to use.  I also decided to add in a 7 Gypsies book door knob so I had my handy husband drill out a bit of my box so that it sat in flush (check out the pic you will see what I mean).
