Small Tribeca Box

And it was on sale for $11.99 so I didn’t hesitate to hit the “Order Now” button! It came today and it’s sooooooo cute. From the picture, I seriously thought it was metal (yeah, I should have realized otherwise when ordering from the ‘natural materials’ storage box section), but it’s actually cloth which makes it even better. I was planning on bedazzling it and calling it a day, but Mr. N was hesitant about the fact that anyone could reach their grubby little hands in there. And our party room is only semi-private so I definitely saw his point. So, how do you make it so things can go in but nothing can get out with this metal bar in the middle?

I was trying to think of a way we could prop it open just enough to slide a card in. And let me tell you my friends, Mr. N has the crafty beaver gene in him. No, no, it’s true! Maybe I’m starting to rub off on him, maybe it took planning a wedding for his crafty ways to come out. All I know is I saw the wheels a-turnin’, he disappeared for a minute and came back with a white metal hanger and wire cutters. Simple and perfect.

I measured, he cut…

…and they slide right into the basket-weaved fabric.

*side note* I spy with my little eye, Hazel!

I’m going to sew the hanger pieces to the top and bottom so it’s nice and secure. And I have some other plans for this pretty little thing, so stay tuned for the decorating!
