As you
probably know by now, little sparkling treasures are my passion: I love tiny
earrings, colorful bracelets, elegant pendants…but all of these beauties
deserve an adequate container to be stored in.
I already
had a small jewelry box, but, of course, space for my little gems is never
enough, so when my eye was caught by a beautiful mdf box at a craft fair, I
couldn’t resist. Once I got home, I decided I would immediately turn it in a
romantic treasure chest worth of holding my little creations, so I started
working.
First of
all, I used some acrylic gesso which would prevent the permeable surface to
drink all paint. Once the surface was dry, I sanded it and brushed it with a
cream acrylic color. After about 30 minutes of drying time, I used a sponge to
apply some brown paint (thinned out with water, in order to get a slightly
transparent coat).
Lastly, I
decorated the piece attaching lace, ribbons and a cute heart charm. I then cut
some small squares of felt, which I inserted to protect the bottom from any
scratch.
And here is
my romantic treasures holder!
Have a
lovely day!
