At Craft Club we got 3 sheets of decopatch paper. I used one and a bit for my decopatch letters and the third I saved for this little box which I bought AGES ago and it has been sitting all forlorn on my shelf ever since.
I tried to be careful not to overlap too much as I wasn't sure I'd manage to cover it all. As it worked out I covered it all EXCEPT for the inside base, which I lined with black felt and also cut some felt tattered florals.
I edged the lid with some lace and then got to work with the hot glue gun (getting a lot of use at the moment). I sort of made up the design as I went along and it ended up quite a bit different to my draft!
I added 2 spare black felt flowers to the inside of the lid with some more of the white flowers I got at craft club too. At last my little box transformed. Now what to keep in it.
Just thought this might fit the May CountryView Challenge of, "How does your Garden Grow?"Certainly very floral with my favourite butterfly or pili-pala as I like to call them now as I have learnt the Welsh word!

Beautiful. BJ. You've taken your box from plain to pretty with lovely paper, lace trim and flowers. What are you going to keep in it, I wonder. Elizabeth xx
That is beautiful, I think Elizabeth has said it all. And Snap! I got some decopatch papers yesterday! Great minds think alike?
Love the box BJ, perfectly done too. I love the details and the flowers are amazing as always. Tee hee I see reels of 'something' sitting in there nicely.
Huge hugs x
What a beautiful box. These would make perfect little gifts, think I might have to hunt some down. in the meantime this has really inspired me to start Williams letters ;)
