Zinnea Inspired Box Click image to enlarge Stop and make the flowers! Difficulty rating
Instructions (Print version) Decoupage the lid of the box with green mulberry paper. Decoupage base with black mulberry paper. To finish the base use the Circle Cutter to cut 3 ¾” circle from green mulberry paper and decoupage to the bottom. Use the Paper Trimmer to cut 2 2” x 11” strips from the pink card stock. Border Punch – Lace each strip. Decorate the side edge of the lid with glued on pink punched lace. Decorate the lowest edge of the base with the other side of the lace trimmed from the pink card stock. Tie black gingham ribbon around the lid so the pink lace will still show above it. Glue green ribbon to the top of the box to form a stem and leaves. To make the flower begin with a card stock cut to a 2 ¾” circle using the Circle Cutter. Hand Punch – Raindrop the pink card stock. After the confetti collector is full pour out onto your work mat. Group 5 or so together and fold in half and continue to do this to all the raindrops so they will not lay flat on the circle. Begin along the outer edge of the circle and glue the raindrops to the edge in a circular fashion until you reach the center. Add a yellow Hand Punch – Flower to the center and a few green Hand Punch – Bones on top of the yellow center to complete the flower. Attach to the lid. (Hint – a smaller circle will need less raindrops to complete a flower.) |
