I saw some of the recycled projects, in frosted designs
competition. i decided to make something different.
Last week, i bought a frog solar garden light,
after removing the froggie and resettling him in the
garden ,i didn't throw the little cardboard box .
Now see how iv'e converted it.
I used double sided sticky tape to cover the box
with the white wall paper sample .and with a sponge, daubed
distressed ink all over and edges of the box to get that vintage look.
Then i made few paper rose buds and quilled green leaves
and added to the top of the box .( tutorial by Ann ,frosted designs )
Materials used:
1, old cardboard box
2, double sided sticky tape
3,gem stones
4,distress stamp
5,gold peel off borders,
6,chip board butterfly
7, white color wall paper sample piece.
8,gold peel off borders for the edges.
sample papers with golden prints would be lovely,
also old silk saree and organza cloth could be used instead
of wallpaper.
before using saree pieces adhere them with iron on fabric
so that it stays stiff and easy to use on the box.
Have a lovely week

WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY .
