  • Step 1Assemble your wooden tool box before decorating for easy construction. For permanent assembly you will need to glue the pieces together.
  • Step 2Paint your tool box with a coat of white paint. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Paint your tool box with bright colours. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4To create a tool belt cut two pieces of felt approximately 10cm x 5cm.
  • Step 5Thread a needle and sew the two pieces of felt together leaving one long edge open.
  • Step 6Sew three equally spaced slits up the tool belt to create four pockets along the belt.
  • Step 7Use glue to attach the tool belt to the side of your wooden tool box using glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 8Decorate some wooden tool shapes with paint and collage materials and use them in your tool belt.
