Hello my crafty friends!
Welcome to my
Rubber Dance tutorial post.
Today I am going to show you how to turn a dull cigar box with a lot of
stamps and some embellishments into a beautiful treasure box to keep for
yourself or to give away. There is much room in the box, so someone
will be a very happy person ;)
I started with Gesso to make the surface even. I used two shades of
Brown and a tad of Red, since I knew my lace was going to be red.
I stamped all my images from the Set
SEW SWEET on white card stock and cut them simply with scissors. I distressed the edges with Walnut Stain and set them aside.
I randomly stamped a few images on Design paper and also stamped the
"tape measure" on Sticky Canvas. The criss cross stitching is from our "
Stitch & Frame" Set
I added sticky lace all around the lid of the box and decided against an
knob or something else to open it, it is easy the way it is.
Here are some more pictures ....
