Approximately 95% of the plethora of flowers decorating the top of this box are from the Mad About Scrappin store along with the Green Tara leaves, gorgeous triple seam binding bow in the corner and the tiny pearl bead trim that borders both the top and bottom of the box. A small wooden photo frame was painted white and decorated with a little bling, two metal keys poke out from a cluster of flowers to hang some lovely pearl dangles from. Everything was adhered using Helmars 450 Quick Dry Glue and Helmars Super Tak Glue.
Inside the box I wanted to show off the beautiful full length piano hinge so only the compartments were covered using Kaisercraft 'On This Day' papers. There were two dividers in the box which I painted with Gesso and then covered with a pretty white lace. The larger sections were then edged with a lovely bobble trim, picked up from a Flog It Friday Sale and the smaller sections edged with some light blue pearl bead trim.
Some tiny metal feet were added (salvaged from another op-shop box find) and lace hinges inside to stabilise the lid. I'm very happy with how this old box regained it's life in a prettier form.
Thank you for stopping by
