Box for Stationery Items

Hello Crafters,

Priya Satish here and I'm on the blog with my inspiration for the June Month's theme which is Back to School. School is the second home for children. In School, they are not only taught the various subjects, but also discipline and core values of life. I have created a simple box for this month's mood board. This box can be used for storing sketch pens, colour pencils, crayons...


I applied modelling paste through Prima Stencil - Iris Tapestry and when dry, buffed the entire box with Wax Cire Cera - Peacock and Art Alchemy Metallique Wax - Bronze Age. Adhered some metal embellishments and added shine to them with Silver Metallic Wax.

We are grateful to all our generous sponsors for Supporting our brand new challenge

                               Step by step tutorial of my project
              1. I took a leftover MDF pieces and cut the extra part. Save the extra for use it later.


                2. Then mark on the decided part where I want to make my chalkboard. 

                3. Now color the rest of area with mint green paint and deep blue chalk paint on marked areas. Why not a blue chalkboard? Its really fun to have a blue chalk board. Add jute cord all around two chalkboard portion for neat look. It also create a different texture.

                 4. For magnetic pin board i have used magnetic sheet. Cut small piece of magnetic sheet from 12*12 sheet. Place it beside small chalkboard. Add a school bag shape button on magnetic sheet with magnet stick on the back for hold any notes or pictures there.

                 5. For embellished it I have used different things like clay, stamped and hand painted images, washi tape, ribbon, beads, washi tapes, flowers, deco stones etc. I have made miniature books, pencil, eraser, notebook with air dry clay, after drying the shaped coloured them with different shades of chalk paints.

                 6. Stamped 2 images one boy and one girl on white cardstock and color them with color pencils. Fussy cut the images.

                  7. Now stick the cutting portion bellow of the base which I have cut from the base and already colored it with same mint green color. Add miniature books and pencil on it. Stick 2 stamped images on base. Use  number washi and script washi here and there and the edges of the base. Also add some star sequins randomly on the base.

                8. Punch 2 hole one on top of the base and other one is where I was cut the extra mdf piece. Add gold eyelet. on top hole tie a cream color ribbon for hand the base and on side one tie a mint green ribbon with some beads for embellish the project.

                 9. Add number and script washi tape here and there for extra interest. Also add some small flowers and deco stone for embellish the project. It's also add some texture to the project.
   
Here are some closeup pictures of my project

 Okay, now back to my project and here are my picture tutorial for the same:

First of all collected all my things like what to be created, what to be added on it and gesso.

After that, I textured plain photo frame with the help of texture paste and stencil to form beautiful base.
Let it completely dry and then paste your embellishments in desired manner with the help of gel medium. I here used soft gel medium by Itsy Bitsy. 
Now, add some more texture with the help of modeling clay and completely cover it with white gesso.

Here comes the interesting part and i.e. step by step coloring. 

After complete satisfaction with metallic paints, then I gave final touch up with metallic waxes. 
Hope I inspired you with my project.
Hugs
Sudha Kabra
