Beside collecting all sort of boxes, I also like to wander on flea markets, hunting for interesting items, that most of people don’t even notice. That’s how I get this cardboard CD and DVD container. CDs and DVDs are turned into jewelry and the box left. It looked like a small suitcase, so I decided to harden it and make it a nice little Christmas gift for my niece. So I start gluing paper on the whole surface and inside, finishing by paper towels. When it got dry, I glued red plush in the whole internal area. Then I cut some pictures of abstract paintings, from an art magazine and glued them on the surface and painted space between them. Finally, I coated it with three layers of transparent wood polish. Before Christmas, I filled it with headbands, kids jewelry and Christmas ornaments (all handmade) and gave it to my Lena. She was beyond happy.
My niece still has it and cherish it very well 🙂
That’s really great to do, very pretty
