Hi Everyone, today for my DT post at Craft Consortium I
am sharing inspiration with one of their gorgeous Decoupage papers. They have
so many in their range that suits every taste and styles for our crafting.
I purchased a chipboard tissue box from Hobbycraft and
began altering it. First I gave my box a coat of white Gesso and once dry I
started gluing on torn sections of Decoupage paper with Mod Podge Matt, adding
a final coat of Mod Podge to seal the paper.
I always decorate my projects all the way round and on
the inside, I think this gives a more professional finish and fools the eye
into not believing it's started as Card.
I added small metal feet and a pretty paper from the Gypsy Gypsy pad to the base.
On the front I fussy cut out butterflies also from the
Gypsy Gypsy pad and double layered them adding a drop of Silicone Glue behind
the wings to help keep their shape.
My lid has a selection of embellishments from the Always and Forever collection for the perfect finishing
touches.
Finally adding a box of tissues inside.
Thanks for stopping by today and for all your lovely comments and please do check out
