I've had this timber box sitting in my cupboard for ages, and finally decided to get out some pretty papers and my favourite Helmar products to create this little hair clip holder for my little princess.
Here are the supplies I used to create this project. I used Helmar acid free glue for the papers, and Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive for the embellishments. Helmar zapdots were used to create the dimension in the flowers.
I started by painting all the edges of the project that wont be covered by paper.
I measured each of the sides I wanted to cover with paper, and cut these first, to ensure they would fit perfectly, then adhered with Helmar Acid Free glue. I used my finger to spread the glue right to the edges.
I handcut the flowers from co-ordinating patterned papers. I layered them with Helmar Zapdots, then used Helmar 450 Quick dry adhesive. Being such a quick dry glue, I didn't have to hold the flowers on the vertical face waiting for it to dry, which made this a relatively quick project to complete.

Dont forget the inside of you project. There's no point making the outside pretty if the inside is left unfinished.
…and there you have it, a really pretty addition to my daughter's new room. Thanks for looking.
