Sweets for the sweet? These little boxes can be filled with all sorts of treasures, treats and trinkets. Perfect as a small token of appreciation and who doesn’t love something with a surprise inside!
Technique:
(1) Paint inside and outside of paper mache boxes with craft paint. Apply 2-3 coats and let dry in between.
(2) Add white or cream sheer lace to sides of box and lids with Matte Gel Medium. Allow time to dry.
(3) Using E6000 glue, add pink scallop lace trim or pink sequin trim to sides of box. Allow set up time.
(4) Add buttons or other embellishments to sides of box using E6000 glue.
(5) Create lace rosettes by running a gathering stitch through lace. You want to create a “circle” with the lace. Once you have enough gathered, pull and tie ends. Stitch ends together to close off rosette. Glue to lid of box using E6000 glue.
(6) Add hearts to center of rosette using E6000 glue.
