Sewing box.



My new sewing box...

Any plain box - I brought mine from Spotlight.
Pattened paper - I used Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante.
4 small wooden handles for feet.
Acrylic paint - browns, black and orange.
Mod podge.
Assorted flowers & leaves - Mine was brought online from Iam Roses.
Assorted embellishments - wooden cotton wheels, chain, cotton, hat pin, etc.
and the handle I brought from Bunnings.

Painted the edges of the lid with shades of browns, blacks and little orange to match the paper line. Then covered top of lid with Fantasy Floral (G45). Quiet a few coats of Mod Podge to form a sealer..Then decorated with whatever embellishments you like..I found some wooden cotton wheels from Spotlight, used flowers that I brought from Iam Roses, and inked them, a hat pin, butterfly from the paper line that was cut out and layed with Dimensional Magic, and a nice chain I found. I love the handle, probably the best feature of it..


Painted and covered with paper the inside..Also a few layers of Mod Podge.

Well i hope you like my first creation..I'm pleased at how it turned out and was lots of fun to make..

until next time..
