  • Step 1Assemble your sewing box before decorating for easy construction. For permanent assembly you will need to glue the pieces together.
  • Step 2Paint your sewing box with a coat of white paint. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Paint your sewing box with bright colours. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Use white paint and a fine paint brush to outline your tool box in a dashed line. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Using a pencil lightly write the word “sewing” on to the front of your sewing box. Apply glue over your line and carefully mould embroidery thread over each letter. You may like to thread buttons on. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Fill your basket with sewing bits and bobs or if you plan to give the basket as a gift, line it with some tissue paper before placing your gift inside.
