    1st anniversary present is complete!!!!

    So I was here last week, panicking about this idea I had for my SO's 1st anniversary present, and I have managed to finish it, so I thought I'd put up the results! For those of you who didn't see my last post, I bought a 5 euro music box mechanism which plays "I wanna hold your hand" by the beatles, and I was trying to figure out how to make a box for it. Hence panic thread, as I am NOT an arty person at all.

    So I traipsed into Manchester, went down some streets I would never usually walk down because they look creepy, and I came across this arts and crafts store. In it I found a little silver box, exactly the right size for 41p. BARGAIN! So I bought the box and some clear-dry glue, and here is the result:
    TA DA!!!!



    and the back:


    I covered the back in the glue to finish it, I'm just waiting for it to dry to finish the front, but there you go! I can't believe it, I actually made something! lol and if he doesn't like it, I will kill him

                        This is far better than any expensive flashy thing you could've bought him. I'm sure he'll cherish it for a long time. Very creative.
