Christmas presents.... being the money savvy tight arse I am, I'm always looking for ways to save a buck of two. So when my girlfriend points out a £300 Vintage Jewellery Box in one of the trendy shops in East Dulwich I was pretty quick to say '£300 for a beaten in wooden box, I could make that for nothing!' She challenged me on this so I told her to wait and see what Santa brings. And here it is:


Not bad for a first attempt!
OK I didn’t make it for free, I bought the wood from B&Q along with the draw knobs, you’d be amazed at what you can find in the bargain bin at B&Q. A sheet of fancy wrapping paper to line the draws. And of course all my free time for about a week!
