Altered old box
I altered this horrible old red box to make a beautiful pink gift box. This is my project for our Kaboodledoodle Craftbrulee challenge this week. The sponsor this week is the lovely Jennifer of http://www.craftbrulee.co.uk/ Take a look at all the embellishments and Lace among other items for sale. If you are looking for inspiration take a look on her blog http://craftbrulee.blogspot.com/ you will not be dissapointed. She has made beautiful creations including cards and altered art.
I covered my box with two coats of White acrylic paint and then some lovely co-ordinating papers. I added beautiful Craftbrulee lace round the outside also a strip of trim I punched with a Martha stuart punch. I used punched petals, metal pins, scrap string pearls, old scraps of braid and a Craftbrulee silk flower on the top. To finish off I used some gro grain ribbon and string pearls round the lid edge and a few pearls on top of the lace around the box.I entered a few other challenges too.
