The November challenge over at the Kraaft Shaak (a great kommunity over on Google +) is to alter something.
I was sitting in my craft room trying to think of what I could do when I saw this.
This has been hanging in my room just like this for at least 2 years. It's a Puffs tissue box. Already quite beautiful, I had pulled the top up to make a hanger for it, stuck some wood excelsior in it for a nest, then promptly forgot about it. So I decided it was about time to finish this project.
This picture shows the back of the box as well as some other items I thought I would use.
Here is the side of the box. I needed to cover the logo so I stuck flowers on top. The green flourish started out as silver like the ones you see in the bottom corner. I covered the silver flourish with green glitter to make it match the box.
Can you see the mistake I made here? There is a lump of hot glue where I had
originally put the outer bird. When I put the branch on I decided I would
rather have the bird perched on the branch.
Here you can see the completed project. I have glued some more flowers on the box to cover that hot glue mess. I really like the way this turned out, and that it was pretty enough that I didn't need to add too much to make it look great!
Thanks for looking!
