love being able to take an item and give a little spin to make it look different than it started out being. I have had this box in my stash for a long time and decided to spruce it up a bit with some foiled paper, but make it look like distressed metal with a technique I created using Ghost Ink.
Here is a video on how to make this fun box.
The entire box is covered in layers of the paper all glued on with Helmar Craft glue.
I used a ton of colors of the foiled paper on the box itself from Ebony, Copper, and Sapphire on the outside but also on the inside. I did not leave a single surface blank.
I also covered the insert in the box with dry embossed sheets of the foiled paper. Some I left plain dry embossed, and some I added the ghost ink to give it the ghost embossing look. To see the full insert please view the video.
I added a clip to the front of the box to help close it up. I again used the Helmar Craft glue to help stick the button to the ribbon closure.
So what can you pull out of your stash and decorate with a little help from Helmar glue?
