Keeping track of childhood memorabilia and all those small personal possessions such as watches, cuff links, jewellery and letters, can be daunting, especially if you're a bit disorganized. However, this can be easily remedied by using a beautiful, decorated wooden craft box, to keep all your stuff in.

Small wood craft boxes to decorate, are personal by their nature and can be made more so by providing a decorative touch.
Bigger boxes are less personal but can also be decorated to provide that missing emotional charge. Wooden craft box suppliers sell wooden craft boxes to paint and decorate as you want. These are called box blanks because they're supplied as plain wooden boxes, ready for decoration.
There are dozens of different decorative techniques and ways to embellish wooden craft boxes, including hand painting, drawings, carving and stamping. You can also use decoupage and even pyrography to literally burn the decorations onto the wood surface.
Laser etching is a high tech, printing technique that's expensive but is often used to decorate wood craft boxes and the results can be truly stunning!
Wood craft boxes with lids that are rounded can make excellent treasure chests for children to store all their personal memorabilia, such as photos, toys, coins, stamps and diaries etc.
For older children, providing a treasure chest with a mortise lock and key for privacy is always useful.
If there's a strong army connection in the family, wood craft boxes can be painted khaki with a union flag on the lid. Alternatively, they can be decorated in bright primary colours or pastel shades depending upon individual preference and taste.
Wood cut-out characters can also be glued onto the surface of wooden boxes to provide interesting and original decorative effects. These can be anything you like, such as animals, birds, insects, cartoon characters, footballs, stars and hearts etc.

Decorating Wood Cut-Out Characters
If wood craft boxes are constructed well using a good quality, blemish free wood, they can easily last a lifetime and beyond. The material used can range from natural, hard woods like Beech, to flat board materials such as plywood.
Wood craft boxes with lids that slide, or lift-off are economical to manufacture and boxes that are hinged with a clasp fastening at the front and fixed with metal wood screws or pins are safe and secure.
