Gift for my brother and sister inlaw for their Bdays





I found this great wooden picture cube that can spin around at Michael's and thought that it would be a great bday give for my Brother and his wife for their Bday, I am also on a mission to find something else for them. I altered this cube, this isn't how it came...it came so you could alter it or leave it be I suppose.












I then found some gorgeous paper to use for the lid of the cube, and then found some other paper for the sides. Lol, then I realized that the sides were going to be a whole lot harder to do than I thought. Plus, I am a newbie at this altering other things...and am in serious need of a lesson or two from my local altering queen Julie.
So since the sides were harder to do than I thought, I thought I would make it easier :p! I got out my tole paints, then painted the sides of the photo cube...then I put a layer of "Hodge Podge" over what I had painted. Turned out really nice :)!
