Plain Old Boxes

Take grimy old wooden boxes, a handful of shutter slats, sandpaper, paint and vintage hardware ... place all in a bag with creativity ... shake vigorously  ... and BANG! 

-------two sweet holders.

"Holders" of :

- hand towels 

-mason jars of silverware

-old soda bottles of flowers

-magazines and mail

-CDs and DVDs

... just to list a few ideas. 

These zesty handles were easily bent inside out.  Attaching was the tricky part.  I spent a little time in the fasteners aisle at a hardware store and discovered different lengths of what I call "eyebrads" --- similar to heavy-duty  bobbypins.
