The top box opens from the back to reveal plenty of room for gifts or photo storage space.  The box itself is made from thick chipboard and then covered with the Pion Design papers and handmade flowers.  It has been one of my most fun and favorite projects to make!

      Hi! I made the box with thick chipboard and then covered it with Vintage Garden papers. The box feet are a Tim Holtz Idea-Ology product. The top metal handle and holders came from Hobby Lobby (local craft store). I went to a local hardware store (Ace) and picked up the side crank handle and the side pulley piece. I also found the black phone cord and rubber pieces for the top handle at the hardware store. Hope this helps! Thanks for the kind comments!

    Hi Tara, this antique phone is beyond gorgeous! Can you tell me where to get the phone dial parts? Thanks so much!

      Hi Mary, Thanks for the nice comment! The center round frame is a 7 Gypsies frame. I painted it ivory. For the round numbers, I just took some jeweled brads I found at Hobby Lobby (Spare Parts brand) and removed the jewels with a craft knife and then applied black round epoxy 3-D number stickers that I found at Hobby Lobby. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions!

      Hi Momo, I don’t have a tutorial for this project, but it was simple as it was just two boxes put together – the smaller base box and the larger top box. The challenge was finding the materials to make it look like a phone. I found the crank handle at a local hardware store, and the phone handle on top is a metal cabinet handle that I painted. Let me know if you have any more questions about this project. Thanks again! Tara
