Not many people keep copies of physical photos laying around anymore, but if you're going to, it's worth making their storage extra special with a DIY photo box craft. Embroidery is typically something that goes well with fabrics, but it's not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of wood.
In order to create this craft, what you'll need is a wooden box to use as a base, a drill or dremel, an embroidery needle, yarn and a pencil to map out the pattern you'll be sewing into the box. For this particular example, the box for baby photos is decorated with a message that reads "You are my sunshine," and includes yarn that's been woven in and out of the wooden box in the shape of a sun.
