Crinolines Box

Price $15

The Crinoline was the first dress that was worn by all classes. It was a huge hit because the ladies, instead of wearing up to 6 petticoats to create the "bell" shape of the dress, could now wear a metal frame with only one petticoat over it.

This was very cool to wear and provided free movement when walking.

Your 6-sided 5*7 box

And instead of using the classic colors, color match your box to your room color scheme.

Here we made the 4*4 box in pink and white with a dab of green for the litle leaves.

And I used the box to "hide" my Q-tips in.

A colorful crinoline with lavender flowers provides a special look.

 

The lace frill I used on the lid is not as elaborate as for the 5*7 but creates a simple yet elegant effect.
