Tutorial: Upcycled Wooden Wine Box

No one in my family is allowed to throw away anything before I check it: this time my victim has been a large wooden box meant for the bin. I hope you like my recycle project, it' is super easy and now this box has become pretty useful.
Nessuno in famiglia può buttare niente senza che io l'abbia supervisionato: questa volta la mia vittima è stata una scatola di legno molto grande, destinata per la spazzatura, adesso carina da vedere e molto utile nella mia craftroom.

Qualche mio lavoro, dal passato
Some old artworks of mine

What about a paint holder? Not bad, eh :-)

Non male come porta colori
