The Suitcase For The Girl (10/15)

List item
Approved

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.
