A Crafty Nature Table Storage Idea

I am always looking for ways to store things that is not only functional but is also beautiful! I came up with a great idea to store my seasonal Nature Table toys and playsilks.

Here is what you will need:
4 wooden photo boxes - $10 each at your local craft store
An assortment of non-toxic paints
Stamps in a variety of seasonal themes



I decided to only paint the lids to keep the colors from not over whelming the whole Nature Table space.



I painted only one coat so as to let the wood grain show. I picked Green for Spring, Yellow for Summer, Brown for Autumn, and Blue for Winter.



Next use the stamps to decorate. Once the lids dry give then a coat of non-toxic finish or simple use a beeswax finish.



Come back tomorrow to see how we organize and store our lovely Nature Table treasures using these great boxes.



...Just a little side note from the farm, we had to take a brake from our crafting cause the kids found their first salamander! I often told them about my days growing up on the farm and looking for salamanders! They were as happy as can be!

No keeping, the deal here is we get to visit with our bug and animal friends but at the end of the day they get to go home to their family!
