Card Box/Wishing Well

Ok I saw this on a wedding blog once upon a time and decided that it was a MUST HAVE!
I grabbed up some of the 8x11 picture frames at Walmart for 3 dollars each
a package of brackets
and posterboard.
add a little bit of fab. and hot glue and your set!
the inside doesnt need to be pretty-so take the hot glue gun and glue the brackets into each cornerLike i said-it isnt pretty inside!
I took the glass out of it so it'd be easier to hold onto when glueing together!
I Used the thick posterboard and cut out a square for both the top or bottom
make sure you cut a whole in the middle of the top one for the cards to go thru



Glue a piece of material around the top piece-this is mine before i straitend it!
dont glue this one in completely-or at all if you havent put pics in yet.
I am only going to glue 2 sides of it down before the wedding so its easier to take apart!


And there ya have it!
(except i think i am going to paint the frames a darker brown to match the top!)


oh and i need to find a lazy suzan to put it on so it will spin in circles-anyone know where to find one? i looked all over walmart for one with no luck!

--total cost for this project?
3$ for each frame
1.97 for the brackets
2$ for the posterboard
which comes to a WHOPPING
15.97
and I can keep it for either a box to keep wedding keepsakes in or take it apart and put wedding photos in. Its a win-win deal!
