Altered Trinket Box Junk to Life!

JuNk to LiFe!!

Hi all, firstly I have to apologise that i didn't take a b4 pic :(

This was an old plasticoat marble effect large trinket box which I altered a couple of weeks ago now. It was on one of the boxes that I am currently unpacking for my new studio. So, thought I'd share with you.

I notice some paint I left on the rim OoPs! It was quite quick to do. Its all pretty self explainetory.
I didnt primer the underneath as this would be able to wipe clean if needed or I guess i could of painted and added some feet ...hmm, I may just do that!
To get that gorgeous sparkle layer I added some mod podge and sprinkled glimmer dust. Pics really do it little justice. Will look lovely in the glass unit its intended for.

I hope you like it? it was an item I had picked up from a boot fair some time ago. Think it was about 30p!!

Have fun and keep creative!
Hugs

The collection is called '' once upon a springtime '' and it looks awesome right? I think I will defo have to buy 2 maybe 3 as I can bare to cut one up if I know I have more yeah?  I always buy my loose papers this way as im sure most of us do. Im just nutz for papers and im a self confessed strokaholic...did i just say that!? its ok I guess I can say that here without any thoughts of the white coats coming for me rotf!

Peeking at these papers where do they take you? Gee, I want to wallpaper my bedroom in these lol I can image just laying there taking in all there beauty and escape to higher realm. Ahh shucks if only :)

So, for all you G45 lovers, keep your eyes peeled for possible pre orders very soon.
