This is the Christmas present I made for my better half this year. I didn't have a lot of money so decided to make her something personal instead.
Its based on, go on guess.... yep a cat food box.
I made it it to store some other items I crafted for her.
Details on the exterior. Made from cereal box card, sand and glue.
I made a quite different catch mechanism, if you can call it that, than the last one I made. On this box the wooden piece simply slides up and out.
So what's inside? Well a simple removable tray on which sits the ceremonial knife I carved from a branch. I used my Pyrograph to then burn a Crow design into it.
Beak and eyes leading into feathers and wings.
Under the tray is a space for other items she might like to store and the set of Viking rune stones, made in wood, that I created.
I did not make the felt bag.
Viking runes.
Luckily she really liked it, so Christmas went well.
That's way cool! Homemade gifts are always the greatest. :) Well done.
