Today I finally finished the wedding card box. What was supposed to be an easy and cheap project turned into many trips to Home Depot. Instead of buying one that needed to be put together anyway for $80 +shipping we thought it would be cheaper to buy all of the parts ourselves.
List of the final parts used:
4 Picture frames
Sheet of plywood cut into squares used as a top and bottom piece
2 long strips of molding which were used on the top and bottom
Lots of hot glue gun plastic
Wood filler
Wood glue
Dremel to cut the slot at the top
Sandpaper
Black acrylic spraypaint
Bubby helped with some of the design work, cutting the molding and also cut the initial slot in the top which I rounded out with my Dremel.
After a lot of cutting, sanding, painting and filling I was finally satisfied with the way it looked. If I ever had to do something like this for anyone in the future I’d do things differently and I know it would turn out better, but overall I’m happy with it.
