Hello to all you creative crafters!
Over
the years, I've amassed a small collection of vintage ornaments in
their original boxes that I enjoy putting out at Christmas time.
I had this Coby box but no ornaments to put inside, so I decided to make a little winter vignette like some that I've seen on Pinterest. I started by removing the ripped cellophane that went over the window, covering the inside of the box with a piece of snowflake scrapbook paper and then carefully attaching tiny battery operated fairy lights around the inside edge of the box using hot glue.
I added white batting to the bottom of the box and a healthy dose of German Glass Glitter. I glued in some snow capped trees and this vintage deer that I think is from the 60's. You know, the old plastic ones that were the rage back then?
I'll be entering this project into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge ~ Christmas
Polkadoodles Card Making and Craft Challenge ~ Anything Goes
Love To Craft #83 ~ Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by!

What an awesome project Birgit! You've created such a magical little scene in the ornament box and the addition of the lights totally takes this up another level! How fun this will be to display with all your other vintage goodies at Christmas!! LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Birgit, you always bring me right back to my childhood when your vintage art comes out to play! I wish I had every single box of my parents' ornaments - I'd happily bring them to you!
Now. You'll pardon me as I have to go back for second helpings of this gorgeousness!

Ooooh, you've put that pretty little vintage box to good use and creating something so wonderful!
Oh how precious, what a glorious creation! You are The Queen of Vintage for sure! Isn't that beautiful and makes for a wonderful Holiday decoration....love it! And then I zoomed in on your sweet little babies--even more precious! This is a great shelf to display people and things you love! Merry Merry!
Aren't you the clever one, I love your collection and this box is the perfect touch to go with them with your wonderful winter forest scene, I like how you have even put lights inside, when all the other lights are off and it has a soft glow I bet it is so pretty!
Birgit, this is gorgeous! I love seeing a wonderful vintage box repurposed so beautifully. Thanks so much for sharing with us over at CRAFT Challenge!
Amazing creation. I never thought about using boxes like this. Thanks for joining the challenge at Polkadoodles.
You are way too clever, Birgit! How beautiful this is and very nostalgic for me. I have truly vintage ornaments that have been in my family for many years and I treasure them. They no longer go on the tree, but I love to bring them out in their boxes every year. Thank you for sharing this treasure you created.
