Creative CONTEST …calling all participants!

March 23, 2016 by Bethany Sy

ENTRIES FOR THIS CONTEST ARE CLOSED. GOOD LUCK TO THE PARTICIPANTS!

A few weeks ago, I was perusing the internet for storage ideas, and I came upon this 4-tiered unfinished trinket box (affiliate link). I loved the alternating layers and the way the tiers ‘nest’ together when it’s closed. And the fact that it’s unfinished allows for soooooo many possibilities for customizing! Stain? Paint? Mod Podge?

Makeover this Unfinished Trinket Box! SOOOO MANY possible uses! {Reality Daydream}

When I originally purchased it, I had several uses in mind… but wasn’t really sure what I would use it for. I wanted to see it first!

You might think I’m about to show you what I decided to use it for and how I decorated it.

BUT I’M NOT. (tee hee!)

ENTRIES FOR THIS CONTEST ARE CLOSED. GOOD LUCK TO THE PARTICIPANTS!

Creative Contest! Makeover this Unfinished Trinket Box, and you could win 75 DIFFERENT COLORS of spray paint!! [Reality Daydream]

 

ENTICING! right?!

Are your creative juices in over-drive?!

So here’s how this works! You order one of these unfinished trinket boxes (affiliate link) for yourself and then give it a makeover HOWEVER YOU WANT! You can give it a mod look, and industrial vibe, a frilly flare… anything! You can use any material (NO RULES!), and can be used for any purpose. The more creative the better!

ENTRIES FOR THIS CONTEST ARE CLOSED. GOOD LUCK TO THE PARTICIPANTS!

I’ve got a TON of spray paint leftover from this project, and I’m going to give away SEVENTY FIVE DIFFERENT COLORS OF SPRAY PAINT to one of you creatives! check out my stash below! #blessed

We're giving away 75 cans of spray paint! {Reality Daydream}

  • You don’t need to have a blog to participate… but if you do, feel free to blog about it!
  • UPDATE: the listing that I ordered my Unfinished Trinket Box is showing the same thing only Hexagon-shaped. Who knows… it may show up being round OR hexagon. But the concept will be the same and it will be so fun!

    I just ordered mine. It says it will be delivered between April 21, 2016 – May 12, 2016. Hope it’ll get here in time for me to make it over 🙂 And what a great idea. My wheels are already spinning what I should do with this beauty.

    The link you provided is for a different box with hexagonal caddies. Also, delivery for either the linked box, or the one you pictured (only 8 left), is April 19 to May 10. Not really a full month to create.

      Pamela, I just edited this post to let people know that we will be extending the due date for this based on when people receive the item… since the shipping is delayed. Super frustrating! Thanks for the heads-up. If you filled out the Google for to register for the contest, I’ll have your email and will be keeping all participants updated on the date change. We want to make sure everyone at LEAST has a couple weeks to complete the project! 🙂
