Chest of Dreams


Materials: Fira Boxes, legs, etc.

Description: For two different classrooms, I did an auction item called a Chest of Dreams. I interviewed each of the kids to find out what they were interested in when they grew up and created a box for each of them. The item did really well in the auction and here is the finished product.


I added legs, painted the finished product black, decoupaged each of the drawers, found unique knobs, added some detail and voila. Great auction item, although the Fira boxes are no longer available.... ;-(
