Small Jörmungandr wooden pyrography box displayed with some of my Viking costume kit, coins, and drinking glass
Although most of the small wooden boxes I picked up for Viking-inspired bling boxes were reasonably sized, I also picked up two very small boxes from the dollar store. Each are only about 14cm x 8cm x 8cm approximately. They won’t hold very much; a beaded necklace, a small brooch, and a pendant perhaps… or my nålbinding needles and lucet fork perhaps. I may also use it for beads that I haven’t strung up yet – though since I have new glass beads to identify, this box may now be too small!
I put one of the Ouroboros / Jörmungandr dragon/serpent designs that I didn’t end up using on one of the larger boxes… however since the design is much, much, much larger than the box I was using, I decided to wrap it around the top, front, and bottom of the box. It’s kind of cute – and it works around the clasp really well!

After staining the inside and the outside with one coat of Tudor coloured wood stain, I finished the box with two coats of clear satin varnish. The satin finish means that it isn’t shiny at all.
