Henriëtte van Mierlo: shabby chic box

Hi, my second post today is to share with you an altered hat box I've made in a shabby chic style.

I started by giving the box two coats of white gesso. The box is aprox. 17cm diameter. I covered the box with fabrics and creapatch glue. Then I glued on the ribbons and pearls on the bottom and on the lid.

The roses I made with dies from rosy dot and pink, white and green foamiran (bought at 14 craft bar).

Before glueing on the flowers and leaves I've glued on a crochet doily on the lid (bought at a thrift store).

I also added fabric leaves, pearls, beads, crochet circles (from allmacraft), clear drops, ivory bon bons (from crafteezee) and feathers to my box.

I'm entering this project in these challenges:

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your comments very much.

Hi, and welcome to my blog.
Today I'm sharing a shabby chic box I've made using some of the new goodies I'd ordered for my birthday.

My inspiration for this box came from this month challenge at snipart, the theme is Anne of Green Gables.

I don't make much green colored projects so this was a nice change.

First I've made the box by using a free template maker. To cover the box I used Kaisercraft Provincial Collection paper.
The chipboard frame is from Snipart and I glued some white ribbon around the edges of the frame and placed paper behind the frame.
