easy wood projects
Yup, you guessed it, I did it again. I willingly volunteered to build something awesome and hand print another batch of kids all for the sake of helping raise some money for preschool. This year it was for Colton, where in years past it was for Maben.
You can check out the previous finished crafts here and here.
I searched high and low for inspiration. I probably spent as much time trolling for inspiration as I did building it. I hate creative block. But, when it struck me, that was it, I knew what I was doing. I saw a hand print pirate. A PIRATE!!! How awesome. BTW, saw it over here. Coltons hand print pirate pictured below.
After that inspiration struck, I started to look for plans (or figure out my own) to build a pirates treasure chest. My awesome husband came to the rescue with a magazine called, "Quick-and-Easy Woodworking Projects," from Wood Magazine; issue from 2006. I was sold!
The build wasnt hard, parts of it were rather tedious (cutting all those slats for the lid). I mostly followed the directions and didnt screw up anything that I couldnt fix. The directions were written well, I just am more of a picture person. I follow directions much better when its step by step pictures vs. written word.
Anyways, without further ado I present to you, A Very Preschool Pirates Chest!!!
The teachers and kids names have been blurred out for their privacy.
The finished dimensions were approximately 35 inches wide by 22 inches tall and 22 inches deep.
A big thanks goes out to the mom and teachers who helped me hand print a bunch of three-year-old children.
Another thanks to Amanda over at Handprint and Footprint Art for the inspiration.
