I've had a nice box I picked up at my local craft shop sitting around for a while. I always intended to cross stitch some flowers to go in the top but hadn't yet got around to it. So when I saw the most recent copy of Cross Stitcher (to hit Australian shelves - July 2013) on the magazine rack at the start of the week with a free kit of three flowers I knew it was perfect.
I started stitching the same day I purchased the magazine. The flowers were quite quick to complete, easily manageable in a few evenings while watching a movie or 2. I didn't really like the idea of putting the finished designs on the provided cards. Dull, and I generally don't give cards so ultimately useless. So the box I fortunately had on hand was perfect.
The designs didn't quite fit the box vertically so I cut 2 strips from the cards provided with the kit and edged the design. A bit of tape and the designs trimmed down. All done.
Very happy with the end result though I may still stain the wood of the box with some colour.
