Instructions for a personal treasure chest
Instructions No. 1321Design a personal treasure chest, for example for your small crafting utensils, greeting cards, holiday memories or lucky messages. The mysterious box is also ideal as a gift.
And this is how it's done
Designing with Décopatch-Paper
The VBS Hinged lid box is laminated with Motif paper in the first step. For this purpose, the sides of the box are first coated with Décopatch adhesive and covered with Décopatch-Paper with a wood look. Then simply select a Décopatch-Paper of your choice for the hinged lid and the outer edges of the box, coat all outer surfaces not yet covered with glue and carefully apply Paper to the surfaces as you would do with a book. Remove excess paper with a sharp scalpel. The inside of the lid is also designed in this way with Motif paper . As soon as the Paper has dried up, simply coat the hinged lid box with Décopatch lacquer as a protective layer.
Select the letters "treasure chest" from the letter assortment. Drag the edges of each letter over a brown Ink Pads. This will give a great vintage look.
Decorate your personal treasure chest with the wooden letters, with Jute ribbon and with gemstones. Here you can "hide" any unattractive paper edges of the Décopatch design under the jute cord. The sticking on succeeds particularly well with a hot glue gun. However, you can also use normal Handicraft glue .
