Butterfly box

Just a quick post to present the newest storage space in my stash. And to try to catch the deadline of the current butterfly challenge :)
After finishing my box of greenery by using the clasps of a tea box, and being left with a lid-less tea box, I thought I'll make use of it by turning it into an open container. 

Once I was done with sanding and painting it with white acrylic paint, I decorated it with napkin decoupage using various butterflies which I've cut them out ages ago.

Since I had no use for the box in mind, I thought I'd go with sunshine colours that fit almost everywhere.

However, I decided to add a couple of blue butterflies as well for the sake of contrast. 
Unlike my other decoupage boxes, this one is left completely unprocessed from the inside (except for the sanding) as I didn't want any colour to interfer with the colourful creatures on the outside. 

When everything was done, I first thought I'd give the box away or use it in my kitchen for some kind of spice container. However, it then occured to me that my medicine cabinet drawer could use a little organizer. It's probably not a permanent solution as I'm a little sorry about hiding the box in the drawer, but well...
