Heart box for my girls.

Hi again :)
.

After making a box for Maddy, i thought it would just the thing that little girls would love on their dressing table. As luck would have it, i have two daughters that love anything girly, so today i made their very own little boxes. Here's the first one, I'll do the other one later....

Very simple to do, i also wanted to post this as an example of how the most basic make can be made from just a couple of items of stash, yet it still looks like something you'd buy in one of these shabby chic type shops.

This is just one of those small chipboard boxes that you can get for under a pound, painted with one coat of crackle paint, a couple of embellishments stuck on it and trimmed with lace. It's really as simple as that.

Quick tip with crackle paint, same as with crackle glaze, the thicker the coat of paint, the bigger the cracks. You can see here where i've done it thicker. I prefer the smaller cracks as they are less likely to flake off.

Anyway, a quick and easy project for the little, or more mature girls in your life! :)

Thanks for looking.
