Hello friends! It's that time of the year again - when I start altering mooncake boxes! *winks* Read on for a quick tutorial.
1. I started with a sturdy box with shiny gold sides. Since I like the gold sides, I just covered the lid of the box with plaid patterned paper.
2. To create cohesiveness between the box and the patterned paper, I added some washi tape with gold details along the edges of the box.
3. To add a bit of elegance, I glued down some pearl trim.
4. Next, I gessoed and painted some chipboard swirls.
Then I added some lace trim to form the "mat" for my embellishment cluster.
And then build up my embellishment cluster with chipboard, diecuts, fabric and paper blooms, papr leaves and bling.
I finished with some gold mica flakes.
Hope you are having a great week so far!
