Enchanted

March.. The summer starts... Mercury starts to hit its peak and more time indoors! More time indoors means more I see my craft stock... my tools... Start IDEATION and here comes a box made out of scrap. Yes, the base materiel for this box is a sweet box lid.. Only this was spared after we feasted on the Kaju Kathli !!!


Procedure :

I measured the Sweet box lid and cut 2 chipboards one inch bigger than it for the base and the top flap. and 1 chipboard for the spine.

Chose any card stock and stick the chipboards : Flap , then spine , then base : in this sequence on it.
While Sticking the base be careful to leave a small space at both end , so that you can bend it for the flap to move around .

Once this is done .. we can use any pattern paper of choice and cover it again . I choose Vintage collections.

Cover the Box too with PP of your choice .. Stick it on the chip board meant for the base. 

Viola  .. The Box with Flap lid is ready ..

Now comes the decoration part ..

The Spine was first covered with DCWV PP : " Memories never Melt " I love those words ..
On it I placed Red Mesh cloth . Added a bead string on it .. 

Its a white crochet lace that I  converted into the Red  flower base  .. 

I have converted  the Bottle Cap into an embellishment .. I gave a dash of Alcohol ink to the Cap.  I loved he way it came out .. Just added  a zing to the Box..

The Butterfly was cut from Burlap .. Coloured it blue ..

The Spine bind has a beautiful Green Ribbon Bow I made  ...

Hope you liked this Sweet Box ...


Happy Crafting  .

Dream ...

Hello friends ,

I wanted to share a new altered bottle I made ...

Feels like summer when I look at it .. I have been trying my hand on making blooms .. I have failed many times. This time I feel I got it right and I liked it too ( for a change:)  ) .. So pop it comes on my Bottle  :)

I started with applying tissue paper all over the bottle . Was not very keen on smoothness though :)
After it dried up completely, applied a coat of Gesso . Then painted it yellow.. Once it was dried, I gave a light brown touch on the uneven surface using hand . So we get to see yellow and muddy brown ..

Used Tim Holtz stamp on a white cardstock  paper and used it the center piece .. Added pearls around it .. The Blue flower was apt for this bottle . I handmade it  :) I also placed a Bird Charm on it .. I love this corner piece ..   Added the tussle around the bottle neck ..

Its a very simple project .

Hope you like it :)

Thanks for stopping bye .

Hugs,

Remya

Spring on a Jar

Hello Friends ,

Its already March .. Time flies by so quickly .. Took  a small break due to Son's ill health and am back to  my Art and Craft world ..

This time I decorated a small cute little jar . I use it to collect beads , pearls and cute little buttons ...

It was so plain, that I thought I would brighten it up ..

Yes its a Pearl pet jar . Small Cute little ones .. :)

I tied up a Green lace / Ribbon around the lid .  Now the lid will look like a mini Garden itself :)
I had collected dried up grass from our garden which I placed along with the  Die cuts of leaves. The Centre flower is made of Sola wood ...


For the Base before going for the Green I went around with a Pink Washi Tape and then pasted the Green lace a bit displaced .. Thats for the Pink line to be seen . Looks great !!  I had a Button which fell of a Shirt and a broken earring . I combined both to make the embellishment on the  ribbon ..


Sweet and Simple ..


Happy crafting ..

Hugs
Remya
