I’ll shamelessly admit it…a little squeal came out of me when I first saw these precious little boxes.
For me,they are the perfect canvas,the perfect way to start creating.With so many options, the skies the limit on what you can do with these little treasures,but this time my muse called for paper..and lots of it.After gluing the wood pieces together,I covered every inch in sweet pale colored card stock..
I then drilled two holes on the top,glued in a precious face and then covered her in 3 layers of Modge Podge.Sealing her is an important step because I next mixed up a batch of Amazing Cast Resin and poured it in the box,about 1/4 thick and let it cure 24 hrs.
Once cured,I added some rub on text,crochet trim and findings on the bottom.
I fed the wire through the holes.
I next added silver Inka Gold to the corner pieces,as well as a flatback crystal and ivory paint dots.
I loved the way they came out and thought they would be a perfect addition to my Christmas tree. Paper Whimsy products used in this tutorial include Shadowbox Reliquary #3 , Sheet #171, and Sheet #292
