I knew it would get some type of makeover, I just wasn't sure what kind of makeover. Like so many "project pieces", it got stuck away until the time hit me to do something with it. And, when I finally pulled it out to do something with, the plan was to just keep it a napkin holder. But with Valentine's Day coming I went in another direction.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjviks7B1OoPjoZXYwIIkESdVDK4uvtHwdUxc4M_oebTPZdlt3EQFekHqoNC2qkO0zM_-Gcda4QMZRbz7rKaU5Q0QRHM4SqKekj5eSaBMbajeyPf1Bah3xSO4vy_8Ff_1fCIYVENSp-xHla9ozbC8cCEMqR1FLTsXImoeul-8Q4L0WjfxbPdKa3sCm-4wCR/s480/valentine%20box2D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="360" height="701" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjviks7B1OoPjoZXYwIIkESdVDK4uvtHwdUxc4M_oebTPZdlt3EQFekHqoNC2qkO0zM_-Gcda4QMZRbz7rKaU5Q0QRHM4SqKekj5eSaBMbajeyPf1Bah3xSO4vy_8Ff_1fCIYVENSp-xHla9ozbC8cCEMqR1FLTsXImoeul-8Q4L0WjfxbPdKa3sCm-4wCR/w526-h701/valentine%20box2D.jpg" width="526" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">When I peeled off the paper that lined the bottom of the box, it revealed what the last person that bought it paid for it.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD_1lS6wWkugmZ4Q7K6lv8Y5TreFYG7Pv7IesHpJVvTCj3OxkJvodqlM9ZQRD5aenSP-DSrg9jDlY7-HqEjPBA3WuYI1jAd3UdqDiV7x6Kmy7L9niFTq0rUBMvxVfqBBqjvrqrZr2kSmFMcnaXv03kvZ53wmLz9VCpr2jNDqfJlvulVwyeLmApPwQAEXKM/s480/valentine%20box2E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="360" height="701" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD_1lS6wWkugmZ4Q7K6lv8Y5TreFYG7Pv7IesHpJVvTCj3OxkJvodqlM9ZQRD5aenSP-DSrg9jDlY7-HqEjPBA3WuYI1jAd3UdqDiV7x6Kmy7L9niFTq0rUBMvxVfqBBqjvrqrZr2kSmFMcnaXv03kvZ53wmLz9VCpr2jNDqfJlvulVwyeLmApPwQAEXKM/w525-h701/valentine%20box2E.jpg" width="525" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">I was worried that once I painted it, the ink & the knots in the wood would bleed through the paint.

If there's ever a napkin shortage, just come to my house. I have quite the collection! And, HomeGoods doesn't help my addiction. Not only do they have a section in the store with napkins, they have them strategically placed in the long line you have to stand in to check out. So, of course, on my last visit I had to buy 6 packs of cute Easter napkins.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I bought the napkins to make coasters (which I did) but I had a couple of other projects in mind as well.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I've always seen peat pots used in decor & thought some of the napkins I bought would be perfect for that project.

The cracking starts to happen pretty quickly, so the key to being successful with crackle is to not overwork it. If you go back and forth with the paintbrush, you will fill in the cracks as they begin to form. So, I load my brush & go as far as I can with one smooth stroke.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG0qN4RQqrOabeN7R6BUmIIIEAlCBJSuRaGq95pyIfpVhcK6yFJrC2kaxfLZcWx_JasNHUo4GI2_9Sc0n14J0A5SY2Sgnp6TXdTLxN3PgWSrymokVSOasO4x2Ea29b21aT2rL-cocEwdU-P3ALUKlYsmwF7Twl4FI3MWUkdBhgcVU2iWs3bd1h2tywg/s615/Bunny%20Trail1F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="615" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG0qN4RQqrOabeN7R6BUmIIIEAlCBJSuRaGq95pyIfpVhcK6yFJrC2kaxfLZcWx_JasNHUo4GI2_9Sc0n14J0A5SY2Sgnp6TXdTLxN3PgWSrymokVSOasO4x2Ea29b21aT2rL-cocEwdU-P3ALUKlYsmwF7Twl4FI3MWUkdBhgcVU2iWs3bd1h2tywg/w533-h532/Bunny%20Trail1F.jpg" width="533" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I created the design in Cricut Design Space.
