Hello everyone and welcome to the new year.
What Once was Old is New Again!
My creation today is an old wine box which I have recreated into a storage box for some of my extensive craft supplies.
I have used several different Helmar products to create this project.
To start with I have undercoated the box with an acrylic paint, whilst this was drying I prepared the tissue paper, first crinkling it all up and then tore it into sections.
I also prepared my decoupage Adhesive using 2/3 parts Craft and Hobby PVA glue and 1/3 water, mixed up in a little dish. If you keep it covered it lasts forever.
I start added layers of the tissue paper to my box letting each layer dry before adding the next.
Once all this was dried I took the box outside and gave it a sprayed it with Krystal Kote Matte Varnish to seal the tissue paper layer.
Then added some colour highlight using Distress Ink Paint Walnut Stain and then buffed it off with a wet wipe leaving behind different colour shading.
Let this all dry and it was time to add some embellishments. I have chosen some metal embellishments including butterflies because they are on the tissue paper.
Helmar's Tiger Grip Adhesive is perfect for securing my metal embellishments to my box
I have then added some highlights using Inka Gold
So until next time create because you can…
