Altered Box

Hello Friends...
Today I'm sharing an altered sweet box which is a cardboard box using some quilling flowers and pattern papers.

I have made this as a DT inspiration for Indian Quilling Challenge # 24 Recycle or Upcycle Projects with Quilling in it.

So, here's an angled snap of the picture where u can see the inside a bit also.

Used the same patterned paper for the inside and all sides of the box.

Here is a small Tutorial for this Box...

Materials:

A Cardboard Box

Some patterned Papers

Acrylic Paint

Double sided Foam Tape

Lace

3 mm Quilling Strips for Flowers

Tags

Doily

Mod podge

Brad

Pearls

 As the cover is very beautiful, at first I wanted to keep the cover design intact, but I have two more boxes with the same design...so I altered it.

I colored this box with black acrylic paint from all sides. kept it for drying for a day.

Then I measured and cut pattern paper according to all sides and top and inside of the box and covered it.

 

I used mod podge to stick the paper. Also applied a layer of modpodge after all sticking is done. Then I added a layer of patterned paper on the top cover.I used double sided foam tape to stick this layer as I wanted some height.  Then I cut a doily into half and pasted it as per the design I wanted. I glued some lace on the lower part. Cut out the tag from the same Paper pack.Foam tape is used to stick the tags here also. I used a brad on the strip of paper that I attached on the lace.

And completed the look with two Quilled flowers. Here I used 3mm strips to make the flowers.

Decorated the empty space with some pearls.. And here's the finished project..

Hope you like the project.

Explosion Box...

Time for another Explosion Box.
These are quite exciting to make.
Every time u can add different layers, emotions, colors to them and they look pretty different from one another.
Here's the first look at the box..

So it's simple from outside. 

The tag and flowers add up to the color.

The first layer is 12"*12" inch and the inner layer is 10"*10".

The corners of the first layer are cut in heart shape unlike my previous box where these sides did not exist.

From inside it's a two layered card with 4 pockets.

Two pockets have two 3 layered tags to write ur emotions or pictures.

Rest two pockets are of the same size and also can be filled with tags.

The innermost layer is again a box. It's cover is decorated with a 3d flower. Chocolates r small gifts can be placed inside.

These are the handmade personalized tags for writing emotions or putting pictures.

This is the first layer of the card with colorful tags. All these can be rearranged and used any where as desired.

Thank you !!!

Explosion Box Card

This is my entry for Indian Quilling Challenge 16.
The recipe 1 2 3 here are:
                                       1 Quilled flower at the top cover of the box
                                       2 Quilled Dolls

I wanted to make an explosion box for a while now and here comes the box card.

I used a lot of stored materials from my drawer to make this one. Though the theme, color n design was decided instantly, my illness took a little long for recovery and so does the card.

The theme of my box card is friendship which is evergreen and i dedicate this my loving friends.

Two friends with the evergreen Friendship plant

The 3 layers of the card

Here's some more details of the box card.
