I just love this box. It truly looks old (but is not) with imperfections, chippy paint, you name it, all that us primitive gals love. I think they would be fantastic as a receptacle for your handmade wooly trees, but then again they would be great filled with wool strips or thread! The box is 5 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches tall. Each box varies but they all have the same great paint.
