Project 31 - Day 9


This is an altered matchbox.  I used glass floral marbles for the feet.  The knob is a rose shaped bead attached with an office brad.  The paper is K & Co.  The embellishments on top are a combination of Webster's Pages' floral bunch, rose trim, and beaded trim from the bridal dept. (at Michael's).  It was a lot of fun to make.  I simply covered the matchbox cover with paper.  The drawer was made from Bazzill cardstock (I used the box's original for a template), much easier than covering the original.
