Sewing Box revival!
Bought this tatty sewing box from the flea market a few weeks ago, and decided to make it green! I also replaced all the screws with nice brass ones. I tried making my own chalk paint for this, as I couldn't find a small pot to buy. I used one part emulsion paint to 2 parts calcium carbonate (which is essentially chalk powder) and it worked pretty well I think! I did varnish it after to prevent scratches. Now I just have to find some stuff to put in it, shouldn't be too hard!
