"I downloaded this Lunch Box about a month ago and have since made four. I pack a lot of sandwiches for my family and I hated trying to get them to fit in a sandwich bag. WA-LA, the answer to the problem. This is also great for other foods and nothing gets squashed. A perfect, no cost idea!"

"I like this idea but is it sturdy? I will have to try it. I am one of those people who save the toilet paper cardboard rolls. I recycle them with ideas from these very articles. I have the necessary items so there is no reason not to do it. I am always looking for a pen or pencil. This would solve that problem. Thank you."

"What a great idea! My son just returned from Italy with a lot of maps and I think this would be a great gift. You can always use coasters. I agree about the acrylic sealer. Much better than the alternative. Thank you for the idea."

"Good instructions. I have done this before and made shopping bags and mats for the homeless. However the plastic irritates my hands so I don't do it anymore. It really does not take a lot to make something. The best to everyone who can work with the plastic."

Very good tutorial on how to use stains and paint in layers to achieve a certain look on a given piece of furniture. The writing desk she used as an example is very cute and would look great in any house, plus it is rather simple to build and finish. You could use the technique on whatever you would like to refinish-adding or subtracting steps, depending on what you are starting out with-bare wood or a previously stained or painted piece. I would probably finish most things with Polycrylic instead of wax, especially if the item would be used a lot.

I am learning to work with wood and my first project is making my own farmhouse dining table. I am going to buy the chunky legs for it because making legs is way above my pay grade, but this finish is exactly what I want just for the table top. I am going to paint the rest of it a soft white with a distressed finish. I am so glad I came upon this, because this finish is exactly what I need to learn how to do! Will post photos when it is done!
