I decided last night to start a new little project. I bought a small book shaped wooden jewellery box for $3, its just made of craft wood. A bottle of pva glue, and a packet of hand made paper, the stuff with all the thick fibres in them. There is one each of white, cream, grey, black and a white with a victorian pattern on it. I decided to paper mache over the actual box, instead of what youd do over a balloon where you dont keep whats underneath. Ive done the bottom half black, the top half cream/white. I'm thinking of lining the inside with fabric when i hunt some down, so ill just hot glue it in. The victorian paper i will decoupage over the top. I tore up all the paper into little cubes of about 1inx1in and used a flat paint brush to paste them on, and because they have fibres unlike normal paper, it looks sort of like fabric and blends together better.
Anyway, i thought i'd tell you because im excited about it actually working! Ill take pics when im finished. (not sure when lol) i have to wait for it to dry, i started last night really late, and did more a couple of hours ago.
Any of you ladies do interesting crafts that you dont hear about very often? Apart from knitting/crotcheting etc
