Hello crafty folks! Hope you are having a wonderful day ! Today I'm here to share a project I made for my mom. It is not necessary always to make something special for Mom only on Mother's Day....you can give her something special anytime of the year just to show how much you care and how much she means to you!! This is an altered art project where sweet boxes are converted to an accordion box for safekeeping of all special memories.
Here is the first teaser !
The top view of the project ! All from the same paper pack 'L'amour Des Fleurs'
Gearing up with the supplies !
I have taken 2 sweet boxes and covered them like we wrap a gift using the specialty linen paper
Added the glittery sheets and started making the layouts . I pasted the cover pic from the paper pack to the 3D frame.
Used the sentiment sheet and made the top, also layered some glittery sheets again .
Now I made the cover I used some die cuts , chippies, flowers to make the layout.
Used the fussy cut and some foiled sentiments too, to finish the cover.
Make as many as you wish . According to me 10 is a good number.
I used ink to distress the edges.
Scored a long sheet and made fan folds for the accordion structure. To each lift attached tacky tape and secureed each pocket inside it .
Now attached them to the box on both the sides one after the other and we are almost done. You can make inserts too using any sheets of your choice.
Close it using the flower and the chain.
Here is the first teaser !
