wildrose Report post Posted May 29, 2009 I imagine you can also find these at AC Moore or Hobby Lobby, or other such stores. They are $1.00 each at Michael's here in Virginia. The ones on display had little fake flowers behind the glass. Basically, the lid is thick, and has a removable panel on the back of it, inside which you can put whatever you want - then seal it up (folding prongs hold the panel in place) and voila: a simple and easy project. The toughest part of the whole thing was cleaning the glass after the wood stain got on it. I used MinWax gel for the wood stain, Feibings blue for the leather, and a new concho I got from Tandy. I was thinking over a reasonable asking price, and am going to start them at 15.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKRay Report post Posted May 29, 2009 That is really nice, Holly. The box would be really good for displaying carved leather buckles too as they do tend to attract the dust and, a few months down the line, never look quite as sharp as when they are first made.

wildrose Report post Posted May 29, 2009 It's REALLY little though: this concho is maybe an inch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKRay Report post Posted May 30, 2009 It's REALLY little though: this concho is maybe an inch. Ahhhhhmmm... Well, maybe a slightly bigger box is called for! LOL Sorry Holly, I didn't get the small box bit and thought it was a buckle in there. It looks great anyway! Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kowboyboots Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I use the same box for SASS shoots for an award for clean shoot & put a bullet in the little window. They love them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Easy mistake, Ray, as I re-read my post I realized I'd not mentioned how mini the box was. Kowboyboots: love that idea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
