TREASURE BOX tutorial by Tanja

Hi there,

it's Tanja here. Today, I would like to show you how to turn an ordinary wooden box into a little treasure:

• cover the whole box inside and out with grey Chalk Paint

• apply light pink Chalk Paint over the grey coat but leave the inside of the box grey

• apply grey Chalk Paint through the ARTplorations Weathered Wood stencil

• add turquoise Inka Gold to the edges of the box

• add texture by stamping images from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge with VersaCraft (Bubblegum Pink) and Memento Luxe (Gray Flannel)

• dye texture paste with the same pink ink and apply it through the ARTplorations Old Rose Prints stencil

• color the roses with purple Inka Gold and add gemstones to the centres of the flowers

Here is a closer look at the front and the back of the box:

My little daughter Emily (5) was very happy with the result and is going to store her  hair ties inside.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Yours,
