Countdown to Christmas - An Advent Chest of Drawers Tutorial by Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

Are you looking for an adorable advent chest of drawers Christmas project? If you are Ros Coffey has a wonderful tutorial on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing you how to make one. Enjoy the holidays.

Countdown to Christmas - An Advent Chest of Drawers Tutorial

Copyright © 2012 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial:  I am typing this with sticky fingers, so any typos you see are due to my fingers not leaving the keys... Right so I have found my Christmas making mojo (it was hidden behind last year's Christmas cards) and now I am ready to get on with the next project which is a little Advent chest of drawers calendar... Thomas Chippendale watch out!

I don't know about you but I am a sucker for crafting magazines, I love to browse through them, especially when someone I know is in there... better still if I did not expect to see them, take a bow Wendy Massey who is featuring in this month's Craftseller, as one of their "regular designers", well that is really thrilling as Wendy also runs Handmade Monday. Anyway, at the moment most of the magazines are giving away crafting papers... but I don't make cards or scrapbook and I can only pass on so much which means I have to find a use for it and the Advent chest of drawers is it.


Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work! I am a dreadful hoarder, with stashes of wool and fabric hidden around my house, together with the projects that I have not yet finished. I am currently making cushions, quilted, appliqued, stencilled... actually just anything that I will enjoy crafting.

Making A Chest Out Of Matchboxes Free Tutorial By Laura Carson of Artfully Musing Blog

I just LOVE mixed media and all the amazing creations you can make. Right now there are so many mixed media creations on my "to do" list I'm not sure exactly where to start.  If I had to decide right now between all the tutorials on my list I would choose a mixed media chest tutorial that Laura Carson has on her Artfully Musing blog.  It's simply amazing and Laura has graciously provided not only two video's on her blog, but provided a .PDF e-tutorial as well.

Here's what Laura had to say about her tutorial:  I’m so excited to be bringing you my first ever video tutorial and to share with you how to make a Matchbox Chest.  The overall size of the chest including the feet and handle is 4 ½” tall by 3 ½" wide. This chest would make a perfect gift (if you can stand to part with it). You can fill the drawers with love notes, candy, charms, jewelry or little pieces of art like Inchies.

Laura's Bio: After retiring from the computer software industry where I spent my career designing, building and marketing software, I needed a creative outlet. A few years ago I discovered Mixed Media Art and have had a love affair ever since. I’ve taught classes in Altered Books, Handmade Books, Collage Art and Mix Media Art. I currently design for Alpha Stamps and I enjoy trading in various art groups. Starting this blog is a way of sharing my art and the wonderful art I have received from others. I specialize in very detailed multi-layered and textured pieces. I live in Anthem Arizona with my husband Kevin, dog Sandy, and cat Tigger.
