Altered Paper Mache Jewelry Box

HELLO MY FELLOW BLOGGERS

This is my second Altered Paper Mache Jewelry Box

 

I wanted to do something very different with this paper mache jewelry box, it was also very challenging to do too. But at the end of the results it was so worth! Now, the first thing I did was I removed the mirror. When removing the mirror, Please use caution!!! You don't want to rip the box its self or when using a utility knife use extra caution! I learned the hard way....lol (OUCH)

Once the mirror was removed I covered it with gold tissue paper. I brushed on the glue to get a better coverage and smoother edges.

This time instead of hand painting the paper mache jewelry box. I sprayed painted it to get a better coverage. I went light on coating so there were no running of the paint. I repeated this about three times to get the right amount of over all coverage. It came out a lot better than I ever expected!!

Once the paint dried I measured the mirror and cut out four strips of ribbon for the background, I used my hot glue gun for this one and worked out pretty good. But I would recommend using reg. glue and wait for it to dry. Once all four sides were done I reapplied the mirror. Now for that one I would recommend using the hot glue gun. :)

For the outside of the box, I had taken a 12x12 sheet of rose printed paper and cut it up to line the inside and outside of the paper mache jewelry box. I also used the same ribbon I used for the background of the mirror. The embellishments used for this project was gold pearls, off white and white flowers, cameo and gems.

                                               

Altered Paper Mache Book Box

Altered Paper Mache 

Book Box

 Hello my fellow Bloggers.I am so excited to share this Paper Mache Book Box, I received from Pinque Peacock's Crafty Kit Club  

 

...and as you can see, I received lots of goodies.

 I received two tubes of acrylic paint and mixed the blue and red together. This gave me a plum/purplish color.

 Once painted, I decorated my box with paper, tissue paper, ribbons, flowers, a resin angel, bottlecaps and Rub-ons.

For the inside of the book box, I continued to decorate using the 6x6 paper and tissue paper.

Now for the front of the paper mache book box, I used rub ons which are silver/foil  to decorate. I'm also making a card to go along with with book box with my left overs. 

Thank You for looking and don't forget there's still time to get your July kit at:

Altered Bird House

                                              Altered Bird House


           Hello my everyone, it's been a week since I posted last which I hope everyone enjoyed.

             
       Today, I'm sharing my Altered bird house that I turned into a business card holder. 

 

                    Above is what was in the package. Once I made sure I had everything.
                     I did a little sanding using a  simple nail file to smooth all the edges. 

           
                 Once the sanding is done, I took the individual wood pieces and painted the

       inside one color and the outside another. After the paint dried, I glued the pieces together.

                       
                                This is my finished altered bird house/ business card holder.
