The end by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies

Welcome back!

This is my last Blog post for 2024.

I created this gift box:

And that's the way, I made it:

01.) For this project I used black photo cardboard. I didn't cut the bottom part of the box and left it at DIN A4. I scored all the edges around it once at 3cm and once at 6cm.
I adjusted the lid accordingly and scored the edge all around at 1cm and 2cm.

02.) Both parts have now been glued together well with book glue. But I would like to make the box even more stable.

03.) To stabilize it, I used bookbinding cardboard. I cut it to size so that there was still some space at the edges so that it could be closed properly at the end.

04.) After I have wrapped the two pieces of cardboard in black construction paper, I glue one into the lid and the other into the bottom of the box.

05.) To make the edges of the box look pretty on the outside, I need watercolor paper. I adjust this to the size of the box and leave a small border here too.

I do the same with the top of the lid.

 

 

06.) My next step is to stamp these stripes. For this I use silver embossing powder as an effect.

 

 

 

07.) All parts are now embossed and are still waiting for color. I used my homemade watercolor paint for this.

 

 

 

08.) The side parts of the base are now finished. All that's missing is the design of the lid. You can see what it looks like at the beginning of the post.
