Good Morning everyone! Today we have talented Guest Designer Sandi Nagel up with her take on an altered box, shabby chic style.
Sandi has used lots of gorgeous laces, trims and flowers from the KS4U store. She also has used the metal embellishment in the center and topped it off with some bling from KS4U.
This is a gorgeous box, filled with so much beautiful goodies!
Sandi as listed the items she used below, and you can find them all at Kraftsupplies4U.
This time I have altered a box and added lots of gorgeous items from the store.
With Valentine’s Day today, what better way for a girl to get her pretties on than by reaching into a lovely box to find them?
So, from Dollar Store drab to Diva dressed in lace and pearl’s. My third Shabby Is Chic Boutique DT project for February is a simple dollar tree Halloween box, that’s right Halloween box turned Diva with the addition of beautiful lace and stunning trim from Amy Love at Shabby is Chic Boutique.
The wide lace atop this box is a beautiful and delicate white mesh with satin thread embroidery in a near golden, and white colored satin thread making for beautiful vines leading to trio’s of tiny roses.
The pearl and rhinestone bling centered over flower trim really stands out and helps tie in the lovely pearl trim along the side edges of the box base.
I enjoyed making this Diva box and watching the beautiful things from SCB transform an ordinary (halloween, just had to remind you) box into a lovely piece for your prettiest things.
First up is this shabby little wooden box was created to demonstrate to you how we can alter laces to fit our needs. Using SCB's Heart Daisy Dangle Lace, I was able to create three different laces using just one of Amy's.
Our money will go further and also we can create something no one else has. This is not my idea and I learned this little trick from the very talented Maggie White and I must give her credit for this Fabulous trick.
Now onto the how to...
First, give a base coat to the wooden box in your color of choice. Glue pretty paper to every area. Cut the bottom section of the lace off. I cut from the bottom of the daisies and go across my length of lace I need for my project.
Glue the bottom section of lace to the bottom top edge of the box. Be sure not to glue the lid to the bottom or you won't be able to open your box. Yes I did that, lol...
Now to separate the next section of the lace cut the daisy strip from the rest of your length of lace. Put the daisy section away as we won't be using it for this project. Now glue the very top section of your lace to the very top edge of your box.
Next using SBC's 4mm white flat back pearl trim glue a length around the bottom top edge of the lid, just below the top section of the lace you previously applied to your box.
Optional: you can add miscellaneous pearl pieces to each corner, and a handmade flower with bling to the center of the lid. Also add large pearls to the bottom for feet.
Inside the box glue a piece of pretty paper to the insides as well.
Please watch my video at the end of this post for more detailed instructions
My second project for this week is a Shabby/Vintage Gift Bag
First, remove the drawstring from the pouch. Paint the front and back of pouch with color of choice. Be sure to put a piece of acetate or cardboard inside your pouch to prevent it drying closed, then it will no longer be a pouch or gift bag.
Here is how I made the bag.
First, glue the scrap of lace panel completely around the pouch.
Glue appliqués to front and back.
Glue Heart Daisy Dangle Lace to the front and back bottom edge.
Glue Pink She'll Scalloped Lace along top edge of the Heart Dangle Lace along the edge as well.
Glue small flat narrow pink lace to top edge of the pouch.
Glue 4mm white pearl trim to the top edge of pouch. Also along the top edge of the pink shell scalloped lace edge. And glue pearl trim around the vintage photo.
Glue the vintage photo to the front center of the pouch.
Glue a white bow to each side of the pouch.
Cut a length of the 6mm White Braid Trim for the strap and then glue a length of the pearl strand on top of the braid trim. Next, glue an end to each side of the pouch and add a large pearl bling to the center bottom of the pouch on top of the pink shell scalloped lace.
Add a handmade stickpin to the side of the vintage photo for a final touch.
Please see my video for more information on how I made both projects.
Hi there my name is Donna, and this is my first Design Team project for the Shabby is Chic Boutique. I’m so excited to show you what I have created. I created an altered cross paper box and an altered draw string canvas bag (which can be found in the shop).
In this picture you will see the cross box that I altered. I painted the box pink and then I used the white ruffled trim minus the lace. I cut the lace from the trim to shorten it. I used pink flat back pearls to trim the top of the lace. Then I cut the middle section of the floral lace and used it on top as well as the rose trim. On the bottom I used the multi strand pearls. I was really pleased how it turned out.
To make the altered bag, I used the soft pink stretchy lace to first cover the canvas bag. Then I used the white fabric lace on top of that. I cut and manipulated the pieces on the lace that I wanted to cover the bag. I tucked pieces of the white lace throughout the bag. I then used the pink scalloped lace on the top of the bag with two overlapping rows. I then used a section of the pale pink floral to line the sides.
To create the flower cluster, I used pink rolled roses, and ribbon to create a flower. I also used the lovely foam flowers. I snipped little pieces from the scallop lace to tuck in beneath the flower cluster as well as some of the rose trim.
The back was made much like the front with the exception of the flower. I used scrap lace from the ruffle trim and some of the pink trim to create a flower. I used the light pink daisy trim on the sides.
Here is a picture of both projects together. As mentioned all items used except the cross box were from the Shabby is Chic Boutique. I also made earrings, necklace, and a charm to put in the box and bag. The cross charms were from the shop as well.
Lastly, the finishing and most exciting touches... the BOW and TASSLE!!
WHAT A STUNNING ACCENT!
The products from Shabby is Chic Boutique were SO much fun to play with! Why don't you go over and check them out for yourself? You just might find the piece you've been looking for to finish off your masterpiece!
Here is my video showing how I made this gift box.
I papered the outside of a small round paper mache box with Graphic45 Gilded Lily paper. I added the Chinese braid to the bottom of the box. I then added the folded lace trim to the top. I glued the Luxury lace pearl trim to the lip of the box. On the inside I glued rose colored satin fabric.
Box Top:
I cut the side of the top off and added paper to the inside and more of the rose colored satin to the outside. I went around the edge with more of the braided trim.
Lastly, I glued the pearl cluster to the top of the lid and the rhinestone crown to the front of the box.
Chunky Charm Dangle:
I made the beaded dangles with some pearls and glass beads and attached them to several small pieces of silver chain. I attached those to the large ring at the top and added a lobster claw clasp to the ring.
Lastly, I added all the charms in between the beaded dangles throughout.
Hi crafty friends, Jeanne here today! I'm very happy to be a part of this great design team, and love all the products over at Shabby Is Chic Boutique on Facebook!
This is my 1st design team project for the month of June!
This faux wedding cake was fun to alter. I used some nesting boxes I had previously purchased, I painted the bottom & inside with pink acrylic paint. I then used some beautiful papers from Craft & You " Vintage Time". I distressed then papered the outside, lid and the inside of the boxes.
I then used trims from Shabby Is Chic Boutique as well as bling . I made a stand using a mirror and a candle holder, which I decorated as well.
Lastly, I lined the outside of the mirror with lace from my stash and used a beautiful bling piece on front and some Rhinestone & pearl trim on the candle holder.
I hope you are inspired by my project! A video will available on my YouTube channel with more details about this project, and also below is my June DT package reveal, where you can see all the gorgeous laces and trims.
This time I have altered a wooden box for a gift for a friend.
I painted this box with a coat of gesso, then gave it an application of my crackle medium, then another coat of paint. I set it aside to dry and once it was I got out some of the gorgeous napkins from the SCB Store.
I placed the napkins on top of the crackle and when it dries it gives a lovely image, and it appears as though the box has been painted in the beautiful napkin images. I tore up a few interesting pieces from various napkins and added them to the top and side of the box as well.
I used mod podge to adhere to napkins on the box, and once it was dry it was time to get out some gorgeous SCB laces and trims!
I added some of the new mesh doilies and shabby rose buttons to one side of the box for interest. I also cut apart the butterfly lace trim and added one butterfly to each corner of the box, embellishing them with pieces of the pearl and rhinestone trim.
Lastly, I added one of the pearl and rhinestone bling pieces to the front of the box. I also used the mini silver spoon from SCB, which I filled with pink micro beads, and some flowers to finish off the top of the box.
For the inside of the box I painted the mirror white and decorated it with the mini pink floral trim. The bottom of the box I painted a shabby pink colour, and filled it with some laces and goodies I am sending to my friend.
I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will pop over to the Shabby is Chic Boutique Store today to stock up on some gorgeous items for your craft room!
