Well, there's been a lot of box making happening lately! :D Here comes another one! This time I paired "Carousel I" rice paper together with "Opulence" stencil, both of which I designed for Decoupage Queen last year :)
See the Step by step, video and the product list below!
Step by Step:
Prep Remove hinges, fill in holes, prime and sand! Nothing is more important than good prep so be sure not to skip these steps if you decide to recreate this or other projects!
Decoupage Apply a bit of glue under your paper, and slowly working in sections make your way until the whole paper is glued down. Pay extra special attention to edges and corners, then apply another coat of glue over the top and sand of excess once dry!
Paint Paint the whole box in base colour of your choice, then add a green stripe on the bottom of the box with the help of masking tape! Add some dark coloured paint splatters if you choose to!
Stencil Position your stencil and first apply a coat of white paint through the stencil, then once dry apply crystal paste through that same stencil over the top! Underpainting with white will help your paste pop!
Add Decorative Elements Use Clear 3D pen from Pentart with some glitter to create a decorative border around the edge of the box. You can also add any extra hardware or embellishments. Then dry brush over them to make them look snowed in
Wax Use clear wax first to seal the deal, then dark wax to add shading to your project!
Hardware Once happy with the look, pop some pretty hinges and handles on, you can even add little decorative feet too, and you're done!!

Where did she get the feet for the box
I noticed Iveta didn't list on her product list where she got the circle-latch for the box. When she removed the hardware at the beginning of the video it was the standard cheap brass latch, but at the end of the video, she had a antique-looking circle latch.
