Altered Inchie Treasure Box



One of the first swaps I ever did years ago was for inchies.
Ever since then, I've kept them like tiny treasures in a
football card box. You know me, right? The Baseball Card
Store wife. Anyway, I'd been thinking about doing this for
a long time, but finally did it for a challenge--what do you
think of these little gems?

Most are from that long-ago swap . . .

Marvelous idea -- love your box. You might want to share how you attached the inchies to your box and whether you sealed them some way.

Great idea. Your box looks wonderful. Please let us know how you did it.

I have a ton of inchies and I've used some to decorate the sides of canvases but I definitely like your idea better and look forward to trying it!
