Vintage Coby Vignette

Hello to all you creative crafters!  
 
Just thought I'd pop in with another vintage remake using an old ornament box from Coby.
 
 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 attached this large red & gold bow to the top corner of the box to finish it off.  I was happy to see that the colors of the bow matched the graphic colors on the box. This sweet winter scene casts a warm glow when the lights are turned on and this was such an easy and fun project to make.

 I'll be entering this project into the following challenges:
 Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Love To Craft #83 ~ Anything Goes


Thanks for stopping by!
