Brie is one of my favorite cheeses because it is so versatile and can be embellished for tasty appetizers and desserts. Also its container is a crafter’s delight. The 4 ½” boxes are perfect for holding paperclips and business cards or for using as gift containers.
Recently, friend Betsy M. and I spent a delightful afternoon playing with boxes. Here are some of our finished creations: 
Materials used: hammered metal spray paint, leather button, alligator print felt lining
Materials used: craft paint, textured dimensional paint using paper doily stencil, self-adhesive pearl buttons, pearl bead handle, and paisley-print felt for lining 
Materials used: craft paint, sea glass handle and shells gathered from Carlsbad, CA, and Galveston TX, beaches

Yes, Isn’t it fun and creative to use bits and pieces of what you have on hand?
Now that is an afternoon of pleasure. Recycling at its best!
