A tresure Chest for the Boys.

I made a treasure chest for the boys for their treats for being good kids. It is a box I bought from Garden Ridge and then I distressed it with chains, sand paper, a dremel and other tools. I then stained it red oak and made fake looking parchment for the top. I burned the edges (thanks Sharon for teaching me that trick when I was a kid) and glued it to the surface. I finished it in a matte varnish. I also made a treasure map and glued it to the inside lid of the treasure chest. They now can find their booty!

It is still drying in the pictures which is why it is so shiny. Hope the boys like the loot and booty they will get from this box!
