So, this weeks creation is a SUPER fun one. Well, at least I think it is! I took a plain unfinished wooden box like they carry at craft stores (Michaels, JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, etc) and spruced it up to become a super cool box to hold my candy for the trick-or-treaters.
Sorry that I don't have a before picture. I was so excited to make the box that I forgot to take a before pic! ;) If I end up back at the craft store before the end of the week, I will snap a quick picture of one of the plain boxes on the shelf and add it to my post :)
I added paint, scrapbook paper, and then some fun Halloween Decor (signs, ghosts, spider, cobwebs) to make my SPOOKY Halloween Treasure Chest.
To get the spider to stay on the top, I simply drilled some small holes and slide his legs into them. I added a drop of E6000 to each hole to make sure he would stay put. My kiddos LOVE this box!

Visiting from It's So Very Creative! This is great; I love it! You put a lot into this box. I love the spider, too, and I need one. My linked up projct has an inspiration picture that was meant to be a Halloween decoration and it has a spider like yours.
So happy to see you at A Crafty Soiree! That is the ultimate treat box! Your kids are going to love seeing that come out each year. The big spider on top is my favorite part. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing you next time too:)
Wow! I love the spider.
