This home decor item I am posting is actually like an old fashioned school desk. The lid lifts up and it has a place just above the bears to place your pencils or crayons. I purchased the wooden box, sanded it, stained it, I have to outline the template on the item and trace it out so you can go back and start the process and after all that I can than start to tole paint the bears on the front. I sit back and look at how I originally started this craft but stopped a while ago. If you could see the first piece I have done you will notice how far I am come in tole painting. I know there are many of you that know how to tole paint, I just thought I would give a little lesson on how this process is done for those that don't know. Enjoy
