Pattie’s Pointer:
Why not add a personal message to the bottom of the box, using the alphabet rubberstamps, or a silver paint pen! (Don’t forget the date!)

Steps:
1. Pat ink pads onto the outside of the box, using 2 or 3 colors to stain the wood.
2. Tear the desired page from the calendar, on all four edges. Glue to the top of the box, using decoupage glue. Press out any bubbles with fingers.
3. Add personalized touch by rubberstamping the recipient’s name in several places on the box.
4. Glue felt to the inside of the box, covering the bottom.
5. Drill holes in the top of the box, insert drawer handle, and screw onto the box.
6. Cover the entire box with a coat of decoupage glue. (You can use fingers to create a swirled effect.) Let dry completely.
