Scor-Pal Decorative Box With Drawers Tutorial

I've got a tutorial to share with you that I wrote for the Scor-Pal blog.  If you like trying different types of projects, be sure and check out all of the great how-to's found there.

It's so fun to find inspiration on Pinterest, and today's box was inspired by a box found on the site from Marianne.  This one is a three drawer version and would be perfect for special trinkets.
